Lech Stępniewski:
Am I oversensitive about forgery or there is something wrong with that coin?

SC:
My initial impression is that I agree that something feels a little "off".  But I am not sure what.  The diadem, nose and the oddly shaped shoulder all caught my attention but all have parallels in examples I looked up.  The heads of the two soldiers on the back too.  The lettering?

When I have more time on the weekend I may look more into this.

Can't determine yet if it is "bad" or I am just not used to seeing examples in this condition.

Joe Sermarini:
The style is a bit odd. I think it is more likely genuine than fake, but it is odd.

Yes, "odd" is a good word because it is hard to point something which is evidently wrong. Maybe few other examples of this type will help. Three are exactly the same type (also from officina A) and five are from officina  :Greek_Gamma:

Pekka K:

In my opinion these details are most disturbing:
