Silver bar, likely an official issue. See here for more information on the event.

Fun fact: the gender separation is not discrimination. It is a reflection of a real difference between men and women: men play better chess. Whatever that means.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

"I assume these were designed in Armenia, but struck abroad as part of the larger order of commemorative coins struck on behalf of the Armenian central bank at the British or perhaps Polish mint. I dont know if these were meant to be distributed to the participants or winners of the tournament, or it was a trial sample in preparation of minting the silver proof coins".

I agree with this opinion.

... a trial sample in preparation of minting the silver proof coins
