Looks like a copper-alloy to me like brass.

Ps. Welcome to Tnet.

thanks

Copper will have that green patina so definitely copper is involved. Most gold plated items are gold plate over copper. That would explain the gold gilt around edge.

 

[eftspa]

yep. appreciate that

Not gold but a nice religious medallion find anyway...
Was this a surface find in the wet sand?

Very interesting find, eftspa! Dove pendants like these symbolize the Holy Spirit and are often given as confirmation gifts. Here's a modern one for sale on Amazon – no mistaking that profile.
