I will guess that this is actually a silver 50, that has been sitting in a bag or other sealed container with a bunch of pennies in it. I have found a ton of dimes that have been inside of penny rolls and they all look similar to this. at a first glance they look like a copper penny, but after inspection you know its just some sort of transfer.

The OP needs to weigh it, there would be significant difference between a copper planchet and the correct silver one.

the more likely would be someone gold plated this, and has been circulated, and tarnished.

Looks like a "Bilge" or a "Septic" coin to me.
It looks like it has been somewhere nasty and has taken on this colouring , I can see the silver showing through on the tail of the Unicorn.
