IMHO,
The strike is too sharp!!! Unless this was one of the first 1000 or so, the strike shouldn't be this sharp. Even then, to achieve a relief like the one on this medal, the press needs to be set to higher striking pressure and strike the blank several times.
I would tender a guess and say it's a modern piece.
