Looks like an unfinished item which has not completed the manufacturing process. The "gash" metal surrounding the "rose" should, I would suggest, be cut away and then fittings (of some sort) added. The end of the process would involve the item being plated. Possibly cape fasteners??
Dave.

Have measured them, they are 35mm in diameter. There is also no stamen. The flat outer part is too well shaped to be waste metal, although I agree it looks an unfinished badge.

Rose
With reference to the gash edging, seems strange that someone has gone to the trouble of leaving a specific shape on the right hand side?

Looks like a little chocolate or plaster mold?
