Without weighing and seeing the edge no one can tell you for certain, but since only one two tailed coin exist then it's certain this one is made up.

Picture of the coin wedge.

The coin weighed 2.9 grams.

I can out on scale and take picture if you’d like?

Looks like a worn down (as is the rest of the coin) line going around the middle. The rim is fuzzy in the pics though. But, as has been said, many were made. I remember buying two headed or tailed coins as a kid.
