Verdigris does not attach itself to silver (the green spots). It's most likely copper or an alloy of it ..

You can have some verdigris on a silver coin due to the composition of the coin

"Note: Two reverse varieties exist. Finenesses vary: .880-.935."

880‰ silver... 120‰ other stuff...


This coin have to be silver to be real : if not, it's certainly a fake. So, first and foremost you have to check if your coin is really not made of silver.

I had a UK silver shilling I though was made of cooper (by the colour), but by checking the weight + metal, it was truly a silver shilling, not a fake.
