Most likely 'Gott Mitt Uns.'
Looks odd - maybe supposed to be part of a coin or commemorative medal/badge in a previous incarnation.

Could it be a old medal that has been changed maybe as a sort of bit of trench art? If it is it was well done. Also strange as it seems to be solid silver to my eye.

That's weird, I've never seen a medal with GOTT MIT UNS around the edge though.... That's what I love about this hobby, you always find things that you just can't fathom...
-
I speculate a German Coin/Patriotic Token that has had its original impression removed, and kept as a memento of sorts...
When I was a kid we used to put coins on the railroad tracks and the results looked similar to this...

Imperial coinage for sure - but which I can't tell exactly,
fashioned into some kind of jewellery piece.........

German Imperial 5 Mark silver coins had Gott Mitt Uns on their edges.....so did their 3 Mark coins as well as their 20 Mark Gold coins. Apparently, someone resurfaced one and made a "Love Token" or a medallion out of it. Just what the odd markings on it are meant to convey is a mystery to me, however.
