I can't speak to the authenticity of the coin but a lot of earlier coins (including a few I myself have dug) do use IIII instead of IV so I don't think that is any reason to say it is a fake. Here is the numista page for the coin: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces41352.htmlAlso I would say it is a fake. Particularly due to how the Roman numerals are. It should read Carolus IV not Carolus IIII. Also what is the hole in the coin?
Not sure i guess it was made so they won't lose it
