1855 Paris Exposition medal for sale

Pubblicazioni di 5
I picked up this medal thing on a whim a while ago, but I don't have any flips big enough for it, and it doesn't fit in my collection pages. It's pretty big, it's 46mm across and has a really unusual design on the reverse. The item is the one in the picture on this page because I was the one who entered it into the catalogue.

I'll do it for NZ$25 + $2.50 postage

They don't come up for sale very often, and the ones I have seen have been really expensive. This one sold for US$45 (NZ$70)

As you can see, mine is in better condition than this one, which is all nicked and knocked about around the rim.
That's an interesting reverse, what does it mean?
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins
I'm not positive, but I think these things were made to be set into pianos, the reverse is just a pattern so they can put the adhesive in to stick it into the pianos. But I could be talking complete rubbish so pay no attention.

I've seen a few of them and all have variations on the circular patterns.
Nobody want it?
Unusual design, but not my cup of tea.
