Fine Silver Troy one ounce date?

[Garabaldi]

I won this silver troy ounce tonight at my metal detecting club and was wondering if the date on it was when it was minted?

I believe it is modern. Here is another example.

The engine, by the way, was the first American made locomotive with a single pair of large drive wheels, giving impressive speed.

I'm still looking for additional information on it.

G.S.M. = Golden State Mint.I see that they melt and strike custom silver rounds, so this is most likely a custom struck piece. Silver is silver! Great prize! http://www.goldenstatemint.com/index.htm

Thank you all. The silver piece was the reward for winning best in show for a German Airforce Nazi medallion and chain. I have it posted in what is it. It beat out all pre and post 1900 coins, jewelry and relics. I was blown away.

[Garabaldi]
