Need Help Identifying Marks on Ingot Pendant

Please bear with me if I have done something wrong - this is my first time!!
I have recently acquired a gold coloured ingot pendant but I would like to know more about its origin and whether it is indeed gold. Can anyone help? Camera isn't good at close ups so I will try to describe as well. The markings are - on the front is a hexagon with IT in the middle, underneath is a star underneath that is a fleur de lys underneath that is 999.9 and finally underneath that are the letters MLT or MTL whichever way you read it. On the back are two more marks - looks like MTL and then a G. Thank you

The fastest way to determine if it is gold is to take it to your jeweller and ask him to scratch test it. One can't tell from a photo. The other suggestion: call someone who deals in bullion and ask if they recognize the marks. I am skeptical as I can't relate the initials to any manufacturer and the wafer doesn't have a serial number.
