Real, not counterfeit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genuine

I believe this is a double definition.

'real' is the first definition.
(I know that real can be written as genuine)

'not counterfeit' is the second definition.
('genuine' is the opposite to 'counterfeit')

(Other definitions for genuine that I've seen before include "Ingenue - the real McCoy" , "Authentic; honest" , "Real, true" , "Sincere, honest" , "Native" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
