The motto seems crooked ...on reverse.

Agree. Try the ring test. The ring test is where you balance it on the tip of your finger next to your ear and tap it with a wooden pencil. Silver has a very distinctive melodious ring that base metal won't have.

That also works. You can also just drop it on a wooden table and listen.
