I picked this up in a silver lot last weekend but cannot find any information on it. It's toned like it is silver but it is not marked. Diameter is 36.5 mm and weighs 1.03 ounces, nonmagnetic.

Can someone point me to any info on it? Thank you.

Medal is much brighter than shown.

Numista has listings for several of these medals in different metals but not silver. No information about them, however.

I bought one of those from a dealer about 20 years ago, thinking it was silver. I discovered it was just silver plated and returned it about a week after I purchased it. I wish I had kept the corroborating info.! I still do like the design a lot though.
