  • I have a 1996 silver coloured 25 sentimo coin from the Philippines.
  • I can't record it in the catalog. Please clarify if this coin is real or not. Thanks!

Welcome to Numista!

As for your coin, I see no reason to believe it's not authentic.

Here's the NGC listing

I don't think forgers would bother with such a low value coin. If you believe the color is different from the brass used to make the coin, it could have been dipped in a chemical solution to plate it.
