Hi Frank,

agreed, clearly made by a Jeweller and I also thought of the possibility of it being silver and gold but the lack of a hallmark threw me.
I agree it needs to be tested.
regards, Iain

I am slightly confused by silver and copper, not really what it actually looks like, certainly from the obverse, have you tested for gold?
Regards Frank
