Anyone know what this is?

I do know its German (Nazi). I'm not sure its composition. Its heavy like gold or silver. It is toned. It has a half moon hallmark on the edge. I think that means its silver. That's all I know about this thing. I sent it to NGC and they didn't know enough about it to slab it. Any German's here?

Coat of arms in the Third Reich (Munich)

 

From 1936 to 1945, the lion was once again replaced by an eagle, only this time the one of the Nazi party, the Reichsadler. Deemed the Hauptstadt der Bewegung (Capital of the Movement), Munich was a significant place in terms of the Nazi ideology. The city was home to the NSDAP headquarters, and location of Hitler's 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.

 

This is the obverse coat of arms that is displayed on the OP's image. Hope it helps.
