Fineness. It was found, that the volume of the token is 0.47 cm^3. This brings to the density 10.8±0.2 g/cm^3. For pure silver has density 10.49 g/cm^3, it was recommended to choose the silver 0.999 - common fineness nowadays.The origin is suggested as Cyprus, for the item was from a private collection in Cyprus. Furthermore the plot 'dove with a branch' being a typical symbol of peace, is used in the coat of arms of Cyprus.
