I had this guy cross my desk this week. I am not finding anything about this piece. It appears to be silver from my test and it is 59.2 mm in diameter.
Thoughts?

Some sort of modern piece , can't see any silver hallmark ??
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I do not see any silver halmarks.

I think it's junk. Hans-Joachim Marseille was known as the 'Star of Africa' not 'Star of the South', that's Bayern Munich F.C. (For American viewers that's a 'Soccerball' team.)

We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.
