As the title indicates, I'm 99.8% certain this is not genuine. But the case isn't terribly recent, either. Anybody know anything about these? Care to point me to where I could find out more? Thanks!

Don't know the story of the restrikes but I have several well made and cased coins of the Papacy based on originals from the 17th and 18th century. My sense is that these were generally made in the 70s or 80s and were distributed by a Rome bank, I assume as advertising to better customers. The name on your case seems to be a Milanese commercial firm.
