Help with Abraham Lincoln Medal

Uniface,
Cut -out Die Trial?

My guess would be a uniface die trial. There were many Lincoln pieces issued in 1909. I'd have to go through my Paul Cunningham book to see if I could find this one. There is nothing here that assures me that a Lincoln portrait was paired with this piece although it seems likely.

Looks like a J. K. Davison medal. This design was produced in multiple sizes, I believe, and is relatively common. I'm not sure of the reference ID.

Here is a sold example on ebay, in the 76mm size:ebay.com/itm/SCARCE-1909-GAR-CENTENARY-OF-BIRTH-ABRAHAM-LINCOLN-BRONZE-MEDAL-/122074640780?hash=item1c6c37318c%3Ag%3AMj0AAOSw3YNXZw%7EE&nma=true&si=D8CeyFxZS1oDviKJBM5R8OY6Ttw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

That piece is a 75/76mm example. Did the King numbers differ based on size?

Sorry, completely missed the 54mm in your OP. Also, the non circular circumference. That's what I get for looking stuff up at work. Is there any evidence of a past hasp/loop on it? Could have been a medal/badge, or even creation for a plaque of some sort. Can't find anything not the 75mm piece - will look through some books tonight.

No loop or anything, however this collection did have a bunch of die trial strikes of silver bars
