It's most like likely a billon or alloy denarius, probably not official, though some would say otherwise; you can find similar coins searching billon or limes denarius in Forum discussions.

I wouldn't say that; it's a nice one, and people collect them, though it's no great rarity.  You might want to search "billon denarius" on Wildwinds and see how the prices have gone for these.
