I'm also not an authority but judging from the details I'm almost certain it's a modern replica.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

Definitely a modern replica. Everything is wrong with the portrait and the lettering on both sides.

There is no chance either that it would be an ancient ("barbarian") replica.
