Italy Silver Plaque

Not sure how was this one made. Silver plated or thin layer of sterling silver over possibly resin?
Ag 7g means 7 grams solid silver was used?

 

Yes, it seems to be more like an ingot of silver, rather than decor or jewelry, for collectors. BA is the (province of) Bari mark. Think 109 is the registration number of the maker.

 

Somewhere on the forums there is a discussion of these types(religious),they are die stamped silver or bi-metal(silver/copper) example in link. https://www.directfromlourdes.com/i...on_silver_plated_icon_wall_plaque_/2894/35422

 

Thanks. Found a video showing the process.
