No five-cent coins were minted between 1806 and 1828 inclusive.

The first five-cent coins were actually called half dimesand were small silver pieces about 14 mm in diameter. The denomination was issued until 1873 when it was phased out in favor of the larger and more convenient nickels we know today.

If your coin is dated 1920, it's a buffalo nickel and is made of cupronickel, not silver. There's more information at the Related Question.

AnswerWhen asking a question it is customary to start with Who, what, where, when or why and maybe how. as in who is on the 1820 silver five cent? Or how much is it worth?

Or where was an 1820 silver five cent made? To simply ask 1820 silver five cent? doesn't really ask anything, it more of a statement.
