Looks perfectly OK to me. Why do you think it is suspect?

I'd say unless you find a match, I wouldn't doubt it.

And a beautiful coin too. The style is certainly too good for a free-hand copy.

Thanks for your opinions. My library is now traveling so what would be the Cohen number for this coin. And RIC ?

Thanks Rupert. Should be rareish. No Cohen 105 in Reka Devnia.
