Showed your photo to a retired jeweller. His opinion is that there is a "sunken" effect to the reverse that is typically found on largish-sized, poor quality cast items.

Also the blurring to the h/ms does not bode well and the lugs appear to be not separate.

I'm no expert, so just passing on an opinion.

Hope this helps.

Oh, and he said that the crown has a fine raised line that would be where the mold has been cut. This is normally carefully removed from finished pieces of quality.
