There is no lettering except Liberty, nor any dates or face values.
Well this is from United States of America that's for sure.
The composition I don't think silver totally, perhaps it's silver plated.
I searched, it looks similar to Morgan dollar.

It is a Morgan Dollar replica or some kind of commemorative medal in that design, I would highly doubt there is any silver content.

​I'm interested in this because I bought bunch of coins from local shop cost me like 12$ but some of them turned out to be great coins like

Nice result for that price! Nice job.

The coin certainly is following the Morgan design, why it was made would be very hard to find out, but not impossible. Let us know if you find out more about it. ;)

​Well it's difficult but I have traced it to two different sets of silver trade unit and this is somehow combined and produce as single
I Mean if liberty head is obverse than reverse should be scale of justice
and if the american eagle with flag is obverse than reverse should be scale of justice.
but this coin doesn't have a scale of justice. However liberty head and american eagle is used as obverse and reverse. And still no idea when was this produced and what is this.

A nice Chinese replica, got several of these.
The details are too crude to be real.
