Alas, this one is indeed fake. The quality of the engraving is too low, the letters in the legends are all garbled and the surface has a porous look; either the coin or the dies the coin was made form are cast copies and, given the garbling, probably copies of copies of copies...
You say it looks silvery, but I suspect in this case the camera is telling truer than your eyes; I'd be surprised if it really were made of silver. Apparently these were made relatively recently, as tourist fakes for sale or giving away at pirate-themed tourist traps and such places.
Fakes of these coins do crop up from time to time here on the forum. Here's an old thread with another one, very similar to yours. Here's another, where the design is somewhat closer to the original.
