Good Afternoon,
I am trying to obtain information about a curious Greek? silver plaque/medallion.
Firstly I don't know what the Greek word says on the front of the plaque, even though I have tried hard to compare the letters in the Greek alphabet then type into google translate.
Secondly I am at a loss as to the origin of the markings on the rim of the piece. It appears to say A 21, then a shape & then 925 ( I hope these are clear in the photos).
Thirdly I am assuming it is a plaque as there are two pins? sticking out on the reverse.
Any information you could kingly add would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this post. Images below....

The Greek says (letter by letter) FILIPPOU, or in English, Philip. The design is a representation (not exact I think) of a coin of Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great.
