Indian imitation of an aureus of Antoninus Pius

I would like to direct your attention to this topic of mine although I am not sure whether that´s ok here. Is it still a roman coin or is it entirely indian  :) ?

It has only 30 views so far so I fear it might not be noticed by the experts.

I, by no means, am an expert in this area of collecting. My armchair opinion is it has a different style from the Indian copies and it appears as a copy, not official.  Is it an ancient copy or modern? Sorry, just by the picture, can not judge. Perhaps a true expert may pass an opinion to you. Cool looking coin, though, and if gold a nice addition to ones collection, regardless
