Stung or Sterling coin?

Got this generic silver coin. Glad I checked because its lite. 25.2 gram.
This saint Patrick coin says .999 F S then G in a box following by three to faint to read boxes. Could one symbol be the sterling, I don't know.
Do they make a sterling version that would be about that weight?

Out of all the generics I've been through, this is the first one really lite, and its not a 20gram.

Does it look kind of like this?





If so, it's actually a series of medals made in the 1970s out of Irish silver by the Franklin Mint. All apparently in the ~25 gram range. If it has the original vinyl envelope it's worth more than melt. I sold this one either here or on eBay about a year and a half ago.

Hey that's it! Same weight. No sleeve though. Was likely charged for an oz but now that I know its real Irish silver.
Wait, Irish silver and Franklin mint... Makes me wonder if they didn't make their own 'german silver' lol

So definitely thank you. I'm glad its about the right value so I'm not stung w a fake. (so far)

I could barely make out the marks on mine even w a magnifying glass.. And I was too lazy to try to figure it out too.

thank you.
