It's definitely the Kaiser Wilhelm Centennary Medal, but on the wrong ribbon. As for the finish, it could be the zinc variant, as not all of these were bronze.

Mike, what size is the medal please?

Certainly the wrong ribbon for that medal. That type of setup with the eyelet is the Austrian trifold mounting style with the insert missing in this case

Sorry for the late answer.I was aming to meassure the medal and have its weigt tonight,but it seems i missplaced it I`ll get back with the spicifics when i found it again It is about 40 mm diameter and quit heavy piece.

Edit: I found it again,dident look in the right drawer Here are the info about it. It`s diameter is 39.93-99 mm and it wights about 36 grams including the ribbon and small metallparts at the ribbon.I dont think the metal is Zink.The silverfinnish is verry"silverish" metall looking.

Your medal looks as if someone tried to silver plate it or give it a silver wash. The medal is bronze as can be seen in your scan. No medals of this type were made in zinc but there is a rare variety in gold plated silver listed in Nimmergut. Fred
