There is nothing obviously wrong with it.
Rest in Peace

I see nothing that stands out as wrong. It has, almost certainly, been cleaned at sometime in the past.

Looks genuine to me, if not, it's the best fake I've ever seen. Cleaned or not, it's a nice coin.

Those bumps can indicate extra metal that does not exist on a genuine coin. I collect these and I have large photos of genuine and fake. The fake I have does have bumps but they are quite severe and obvious. My fake also has characteristics I don't see here. This coin looks a lot more like my genuine than the fake I have.

The King's ear wax (bumps) also concern me that's why I asked and the person selling this coin had many more of the same coin, so it just rang a little alarm bell in my head, but I still bought it anyway.
