Why do you suspect it?  Size and weight?

I can see the reasons for your suspicion.  I would avoid this coin.

I would avoid it because of the condition.  Looks fine to me.

I’m with Mac on this one.  The reverse is particularly troublesome to my eye. The way the letters hit the fields and the random sections missing from the reverse figure indicate a possible cast.  The patina also looks strange.
