The style is perfect. The question remains, is it cast? Check the edge carefully for signs of casting. The photo of the reverse almost shows a line in the middle of the edge from 7:00 to 9:00. That might be the result of the lighting, but if there is a line there, or if the edge shows signs of filing (to obscure the casting seam), then I would conclude the coin is cast and not genuine. Let us know about the edge.
