I think it's real.
Most counterfeit ones are magnetic, try to check it with a magnet. But in case of non-magnetic, we can't be sure before checking all what said PetrusAscanus.

This coin was issued with date 1871 and dates in the stars 18-71, 18-73, 18-74 or 18-75. All commons, except 18-73.

The counterfeit method consists in filing down the star with the 71, the most common. Then punch a 73, the rarest.

The star in the photo looks a 73, isn't it?.  Likely a real 1871*1871 with a fake star 73. The value in this case is the bullion value, 11€.

The mint letters in the photo are SD-M. These letters are only in the 71 year. The rest of the years have DE-M. The combination SD-M with star 73 only can be in the counterfeit I say.

How can you tell that from a photo?? LOL
The coin is clearly silver.
Looking at the catalog I'd definitely agree with Zegeri

First coin is true silver. Second coin is a fake, magnetic and not silver. It looks dark as the other coin
