Item #2 - Maybe Plate money, maybe Die tests, maybe Test Pattern? OR, what is it?

Hello,
SaorAlba... posted some Images earlier under the title: Swedish Plate money......which have some similarity. BUT are not at all the same.
By all means, I do not wish to take any attention away from her post. The only reason I chose to have it separate is because the item is different.
I have several more different items to post, all have similarities.
this item is either Zinc (but probably not as it is too soft) tin or lead and is greyish- white in color. it is very flexible like lead or tin. I have all information on the Images.
And.... I have no idea where it came from, what it is or might be.

Any help is much appreciated.

    It appears to be a DIE Galvano of Plate money. The letters are Raised, I am guessing because it is easy to be fooled by photo depth. Galvanic action using the Plate and what ever that metal is in the photo. Quite a rare find. This was often done for museums to have examples of Rare items without Owning them or for displaying Both sides of the coin or medal. The obverse is extremely Degrade it appears, the Reverse is as it should be.image
