Well this statement implies that my token is a fake since the calculations for determining pewter presented in this thread seem to indicate that it would be impossible to be silver? Would this be an accurate statement?

That was the reason for my request to find out what other allegedly silver examples had with respect to corresponding markings and their locations.

The actual thickness, assuming a uniform cylinder with a 6 cm diameter weighing 69.6 grams, would need to be 2.4 mm for the composition's density to match pure silver.

While your measurement of 3.4 mm at the (upturned) rim seems too high, if the relief below the rim is significant (greater than 0.5 mm of each side) then there is still a chance it is silver.

A specific gravity test would settle the issue (in my mind).
