The details don't match.

For instance... the 9 doesn't touch the border on the what's it. And the cat has spiky fur and a crown.

I'm not a 100% sure on this one, but it might be a copy, look closely at the details, specially the lion's mane & the date, looks kinda cast to me

I really have no Idea whether it is real or not. Based on the value of the one on ebay, why would someone take the time to copy this??

Sorry, that logic doesn't always work. many lower end coins have been copied for all kind of reasons, not just to fool people.

As I said, I'm not sure, I can normally say with some certainty, so all may be well.
