sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/27/2020 01:13 am Nothing on it (in English) indicates that it is made from silver. My guess? that it may be of silver, perhaps 500 fine, or even silver plated copper nickel. Does it have an edge inscription? Report this Post to the Staff

I wasn't aware of these things being made from anything other than base metal recently.
