    Not sure if silverplated. I am thinking some kind of alloy.
    I guess a souvenir from Spain but trying to find similar to check what they are selling for.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Looks like stamped copper with a silver wash. Some times they were stamped tin with a copper wash then the silverwash on top. You could not add the silver wash to tin without the copper layer.
