There are several of these which have sold at auction recently to help compare with genuine examples. https://www.coinarchives.com/w/resu...&results=100
As pointed out by @sel_191, the value in this condition is not more than $100 US. Comparing yours to the examples in CoinArchives (and in a broader web search), I see only two things that concern me, but I think these are minor (?). First, yous is slightly off center. All the other examples I can see are perfectly centered. Also, the letters in DER obverse on yours have a slightly gothic look which does not appear on genuine coins (the base of the D and E do not appear to be flat on yours), but maybe this is just an artifact of the photograph/scan.
As there was no other date for this type, that removes the possibility of an altered date. If it is a fake, I think it is an extraordinarily good one. I'm leaning toward genuine, but there are others out here who are much better at this.
