Look for the word COPY or REPLICA in tiny letters somewhere on the coin. All replicas made since the 1970s are required by law to carry that marking.
If the word doesn't appear, it's unfortunately not a guarantee the coin is genuine. Loads of copies were made before that time and were in everything from "collectibles" sets to promos from gas stations. You'd need to have it examined in person to be certain, but as there are far more copies than originals you should be prepared to find out that your coin is not the real thing.
