New Silvers 2000 Years Apart

From the recent Pegasi Internet and Mail Bid Auction 36, I finally picked up a decent coin from Kallatis, completing a small set of western Black Sea ports.

But one thing that pleased me no end was coming across an otherwise rather common Bouchard obverse, but on a silver medal. First one of these that I have seen in silver. Considering the legend on the reverse, I am thinking that it was handed out to judges and superintendants of a horse race/show.
