Hello! I'm trying to identify some of my coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help!

Diameter 17mm, Weight 2.9g, Silver

My question is about the authenticity of the coin, the reverse looks very suspicious

Hmmm. Does seem to have some of the telltale signs of casting. But I wonder if that is base metal showing at 11:00 reverse. Could this be a fouree?

I was wondering about the same things Bob!!
The seller I got the Denarius is trusted but okay, one coin here and there to be fake it can be found, but a suspicion for a second in the same lot is not acceptable.
So I decided to return all 33 Denarius back, I don't want to risk in any way.
Thank you for your thoughts!!
