Diameter 33.79 mm
weight 20.02 grammes

all opinions welcome. Andrey???

bought from ebay, 1000+ to 100% seller
I am fairly sure that the diameter is wrong on numista of 35.5mm is wrong as everywhere else seems to list it at 33mm or 34mm
Have you given it a ring test? Does it make a silver sound?
Weight and diameter are correct (Numista catalogue 35,5 mm diameter is wrong), thickness should not exceed 2,6 mm, for a coin with this wear it should probably be 2,52-2,55 mm.
The pictures are not great, but from what I see in them the coin does not look suspicious. I'd say it's original.
I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.
Weight and diameter are fine and from the pictures the coin looks alright (I've got one myself). I'd say original but you can also try measuring the thickness like Andrey suggested.
Thank you for your replies. @BAM777, a ping test sounds like usual for silver. A rare earth magnet reacts like expected on it. @andrey thickness is 3.01mm
First time i see brownish oxidation in patina of a pure silver coin.:~
1)Bad photo?
2)Plastic holder?
3)Silver (.700)?
4)Silver (.500)?
5)I do not know.
Bad photo! I will do better in a bit!
My question solved.
