Maternal Medallion oddity - any ideas?

I stumbled on this one today, and have no idea what it is other than the basic translation on the reverse about being "born in the Volga Lands." It's 45mm in diameter, and does not appear to be silver. It has space left for what was probably a name/date engraving. The motif oddly resembles the modern Kazakh motherhood medals, but this appears to be much older. What do you dudskies think?
