It is 1mm smaller than a Stirling silver florin and weighs 4.11 grams lighter so I definitely think it being gold is out of the question. Other than that I wouldn't have a clue what this medallion is about. Crikey you get some interesting stuff Shane  |

Nice pickup. Not gold, doesn't weigh enough. Balance of probabilities is that it's some sort of medal struck for the bicentennial. There were dozens of them struck. You could send a picture of it to the RAM, someone there might know what it is.

The Mint has not made this medallion. It looks like the silver version of the medallion made by the Centenary of Canberra unit, who are part of the Chief Minister and Cabinet Directorate of the ACT Government. Please see the following link for their contact information http://www.canberra100.com.au/corpo.../contact-us/Regards Customer Service Team Royal Australian Mint |
