Just rechecked the weight, it's 26.96g - which is fine.
As you said, the rim looks too intense, I have some real ones and I never saw a such detailed rim. Moreover the second overlap is missing, which was the biggest hint to me.
Just found this link, seems that this coin is a known copy (ancient one or modern one ? - I dont know) : http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/3567808
Another link, with a genuine coin from the same date (without overdate though) - the J in the essayer mark is clearly not correct : http://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...=21945#Photo
I also noticed that the second pillar looked different (empire style) - but as the coin is an overdate this should have been fine : here is one from 1768
