They share same flan shape, centering, position of centering hole and wear, slippage (die shift ) was coppied too and the scratches on obverse at laureate were copied, too and some patina defects for example at about 5 o clock, where patina borke out and the impront was copied too
They have different weight, cast copy has 9,3g to 14,13g authentic mother and different patinas

Reverse: VENVS VICTRIX, Venus standing left, holding Victory & scepter, leaning on shield set on helmet

The style is horribly off, thus condemning it a fake.

Caracalla, Denarius, RIC - None403 viewsObv: ANTONINVS PIVS FEL AVG
Bust: Laureate bust right
Rev: IOVI CONSERVATORI
Jupiter standing left leaning on scepter and holding thunderbolt
Ref: None. Fantasy Coin.

According to RSC it doesn't exist. Wrong legend combination, and wrong depiction of Jupiter.
Closest match would be RSC 107, RIC 301 with obverse legend ANTONINVS PIVS AVG GERM and Jupiter holding thunderbolt and scepter with 2 standards behind and eagle at feet (jbaran)

Slavey creation. Victory rev. type does not appear in that issue. That's an invention of the forger. Correct description is then Caracalla silver QUINARIUS, rev. P M TR R XV [not XII] COS III P P Victory advancing l. [not r.], 212 AD. RIC 192, but coupled with earlier obv., unbearded and without BRIT, original would have beard and BRIT
