Thanks again for the replies and info.
I believe it is a cast as shown above but am not 100%  sure.
At a stroke of luck the national tv show "antiques roadshow" is being held at a local venue tomorrow so im going to go and show it to 1 of the many experts that are there and get an opion as hands on is no doubt a thousand times easier to be more accurate with an identification.
I will post tomorrow with the outcome just out of courtesy to those members that read and replied.
Thanks again

Hi.
Thanks for both replies.
Mat how could it be cast in some way if its marble? Im no expert on such things and only assume its marble due to the smooth front and (sparkly rough) back.
The 1 in the russian auction is almost identical to the one I have.
Does it state the selling price as I see its dated 2005 and only see "preliminary" but shows no currency.
Thanks again

Can anyone give me any information on this item please
Ive identified the medallion inlaid In the back as being from the paris exposition universelle 1889 but have no clue on the actual plaque or its origin. There is a  signature (attached) that I cant quite decipher
Photos ain't that good I know but can take better ones.
Any info appreciated
