King is correct. The coin has been cleaned with an abrasive or metal polish, which removes the surfaces but not necessarily all the grime. The black bits you see are something like tar, which is nearly impossible to remove even with the insane chemicals some people use on their coins.
In my opinion, the details match, and the weight is not far enough off the original to concern me. I think it's real just harshly cleaned.
Cleaned and real and there is a type B obverse which has 3 and a half panels on Victoria's bodice, mostly on later Bombay coins.
This is real and cleaned rupees are common. Good silver coins, but 1 rupee silvers were minted in high numbers (100 million most years) and were the biggest coin in use before you hit gold and banknotes, hence a massive demand for them.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
