<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1860157, member: 40017&quot;]At 2.8cm it is definitely just a commemorative type medallion - I wanted to check as the style is reminiscent of some of the officially issued medals as opposed to medallions, but they would be more like 4cm and probably inscribed around the edge.</p><p>As to the metal - if it is not obvious in the hand it is tricky! You could scratch the edge somewhere to see if it shows red or silver underneath, but that would damage it, which would be a pity. I guess you could check density? Or surprisingly, taste it? (Copper has an obvious and unpleasant bitter taste, while silver is pretty much tasteless.)</p><p>Other white metals would also be tasteless, but by its style and quality I would not expect it to be cupro-nickel or any other alloy.</p><p>Not a particularly valuable item in either case - probably under £10 even on a good day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
