Fake coin obviously. Probably not silver. Try a magnet. If it is attracted this proves it is not silver and that it is a fake.

Bad fake. Looks more like lead than silver, but any coin dealer or jeweler can test it for you.

Some contemporary counterfeits are collectible - the ones made to pass as circulating coins during the time they were circulating. If yours is contemporary it's really really bad. Honestly I would just throw it in the garbage.
