In this case please add weight, diameter, and a photo of the edge. You should also include a link to the coin page on Numista which is N#35218 .

 

I'm suspicious about the edge from the appearance between 3 and 4 o'clock in the first image and between 5 and 7 o'clock in the second.

Looks like a fake to me. All the lettering is flat and exaggerated. Additionally, I  don't think it's silver. Here's a real one for comparison:

Hi all,

 

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.
