Purchased at estate sale of old house owned by church for 150+ years in Wisconsin. Closest thing I can relate it too is a Roman victory medal. Made of bronze. Any ideas on age or origin? Any value? Thanks.

Appears to be a modern casting to me -

Thank you for your comments. I also thought this looked like a piece that was "struck" not "cast" due to the off-center placement of the boarder. If so, would there be more of these out there or is this possibly a one of a kind, folk art, kind of thing. Thanks again for your assistance. I bought this because it is unusual and interesting and I wanted to learn about it's origin and construction.
