I agree with the suspicion : fake, and I would even say a cast (not minted) fake.
Here a real one (with mint damage on the obverse), weight 27,1 gr:
Compare de lettering (it is finer and aligned), the pommegranate fruit (it is smaler and finer), the date numbers, the edge.
The 8 Reales 1813 FJ from Santiago mint is the most common (or lets say the less scarce 😉) of the chilean Fernando VII Reales; nevertheless, as the whole chilean 8 Reales series is relatively scarce and sought for, you will find many forgeries and fakes of all years, including 1813.
