An excellent find! Fairly low mintage - 590,000 and good catalogue value. Well done!

A bit weak on some of the rim denticles.

Dot circle on the reverse is very inconsistent in size and shape. When this design was reduced from the matrix, the pantograph engraver for the master die would have engraved much more consistent dots.

Wear pattern is OK for a genuine coin.

Perhaps a forgery, rather than a numismatic fake.
Check the weight accurately, should be 1.36 grams, according to Krause.
