I got this piece a while back thanks to a very nice chap in the UK.  I decided to deconstruct the plastic container today!  An old tent peg did the trick.  8)
It seems it's one of a very large series. There are a whole host of different wine-related ones posted here and here
There are a few ads around on these pieces, some saying silver, some saying silverplate.  Anyone have a definitive answer? Many thanks.  ;D
The problem being what does '1*' mean?

Interesting. Can you see any other numbers against the mintmark?

Thanks Pat  ;D
I had scanned it :-[  " frappées en argent 1er titre."  Oops!
So, silver but what exactly does the above mean?  I assume 1* means 1er titre.

No other numbers and edge blank.

Googled it

This collection, minted in silver by Monnaie de Paris, brings together many of the finest examples of French viticulture. Specifically, it is monetary strikes, "beautiful proof" quality, 41 mm in diameter, struck in silver 1st title.

Ier is short for premier as 1st is short for first.

Does that denote the medal as a first strike?  Cannot find any others numbers.

If it were first strike, why are there no silver marks?  I think it refers perhaps to solid silver?
And I think the no.2 on that website might refer to the reverse, mind you they don't do that with the other piece  :-\
And you've find another there Pat - Bollinger.   ;D  Updated above.
