Two possibilities : 1) Somebody gold plated it, making it a novelty item. 2) Over time, natural toning has occured. When silver is exposed to air and/or other chemicals, it will oxidize, causing it to change color. Over time, it could become any color in the rainbow, starting from a light golden color, moving on to orange, red, green, blue, purple, and eventually to brown and finally to black. If the color is appealing, it may add value to your coin, however unappealing colors will detract from its value.
