Could be one of three things, a halfcrown, a shilling or a sixpence.

But you'd have to give me the size in diameter before i can tell you which of those it is.

It's sterling silver, but sounds as if it has been mounted at the top and thus collector value will be near nil. But it'll still hold its bullion value.
