My educated guess says that it looks like pewter and imo, is a collecting tray for a catholic church, with the centre pattern resembling a rosary bead chain.
ill give you £1 including postage
It's a Roman drinks tray for wenches to carry flagons of ale around the tavern to your table.
Judging from the markings, I would age it around 12-15AD, during the rule of Marcus Aurelius.
I know because my uncle kills them for a living.

Kills Romans? or Trays?
The method of repousse work is an ancient craft, can be worth a quite a few pounds, I have had some Newlyn copper items make several hundred pounds..
From the picture it looks early 19th century, maybe a lot earlier, base copper then silver plated?
But,without looking at actual item it's hard to tell, you need to get it properly checked out, auctioneer, museum.
What size is it?

Just nuke it from orbit and be done with it.
People called Romanes, they go the house?
It says, "Romans go home. "
