Mystery Silver

[root]

Found while detecting the site of a former late 19th century inn. Resembles a quarter that's been hammered. Hole in center. Any ideas as to what they were trying to do with this?
Thanks for looking,

I don't think there was a specific plan to it.

I'm curious how G.W. appears 'raised'?
