Cant comment on authenticity, but it looks F-15, maybe VF-20, and cleaned.

Same surface texture in the open areas of the fields, as in between the design details.
Needs further investigation:
weight
exact diameter
comparative ping tone
are cheap tests.

Immersion in a corrosive fluid and some subsequent wear is capable of reproducing a similar sort of surface texture as well, but I can't figure out why anyone would want to do that.

Not a particularly scarce coin (fairly common), but it looks like it was once buried (or sunken) and then harshly cleaned. Looks VF-20 or a tad higher. Since it's not one of the scarce 50 cents, I doubt that it's counterfeit. Drop it on a hard table and listen to the ring .. thud or ping.
