    It is a heavily counterfeited coin, hard to tell from a photo.
    It should weigh 28.125 grams, a rare earth magnet should slide off it slowly if it is 80% silver.

    I'm not convinced that it is genuine. Looks very similar to some of the recent counterfeits.

    I would say that it's a fake. I don't like the edge.

    In Italy they sell a non-silver reproduction (riconio) of this coin for around $7.
