Hello everyone :hello:

I was given this strange piece by my dad. I'm not sure where he had found it.

It looks really old(but it's hard to tell the age).
It appears to have a sort of gold or brass plating with ancient art/symbols(a face, hands, and cross).
Base metal is unknown (it's non-magnetic).
It seems softer than silver (able scrap off easily with razor blade).
It might be made of pewter(lead/antimony?), (rubs off fairly easy onto paper and stays shiny).

Weight is 23.6g.
Dimensions are approx. 40mm x 43mm x 2mm.

I'm not sure where to start looking to find out more info about it, other than posting it on a site like this.

thickness is quite uneven all around:

If anyone can help to identify, or has seen something like this before and knows what it is, please let me know.

Thank you! ;)
 

Thats one of the worst pot metal replicas I have ever seen. It looks like a very poor replica of a Lima cob.
