Silver

Islamic Fatimid
The last picture says "Imam Maadd" , fatimid caliph.

Does anyone have an idea of ​​what it is?

Thanks

I weighed several times on different scales: all are unanimous that it is half a kilo. What I corrected is a typo: I wrote 3 instead of 5.
It can be a silver ingot or a big coin the equivalent of 100 denarius for big expenses ???
