I think it is silver, but if any of you know where I can see another one? Approx. 18.3 grams/ 40 mm diameter.

Does not appear silver to me. The tarnish is not right, and it's too grey. I have never seen one before.

leave a trail of black on white paper, but it is not aluminum - is too heavy. Maybe there is lead in it?

I agree, it doesn't look like silver to me. It's probably lead or cast pot metal.

It has the color of pewter--is that a possibility?

Together with this medal in the collection had one which I guess made from lead with other plate.
