Weird oval bar/medallion?

[Carney]

I found this thing at a thrift store. It looked interesting and was heavy for its size and it was 25 cents, I found one for sale on ebay but there was no information about it other than a description. Vintage 1964 Medal Medallion First Citizens National Bank of Alexandria | eBay

It is heavy and painted or plated with a gold and black finish. It is a similar size and weight as a 5 ounce silver bar. It is not magnetic. Anyone know what this is?

My guess would be that it is a medallion given out by the First Citizens & National Bank of Alexandria in 1964. Could be PA or VA.

I figured that, I am more interested in in finding out what it is made of. Thanks for the help

Paperweight; probably of brass--like this one:

Its not brass. The metal underneath is gray and it is not magnetic, so its not cast iron either.

Bronze over pot metal (die cast tin/zinc)?

Hard to tell without being able to examine or weigh it.
