This type does not exist in bronze, so it is probably a modern fake :-[ .

A modern cast fake.  You can even see the pour-in spot at the top of the reverse.  Check the edges for seam marks.

as wirtten above a cast fake made in wrong metal, a casting twin is currently for sale by nfs b-antiques.
He sometimes has cast fakes in wrong metal 8Bronze instead of Silver), too.
Maybe this fake was sold by him, too.
