It was hallmarked at the Birmingham assay office (indicated by the anchor) in 1905. The third element of the hallmark is the letter 'f' which is a 'date letter' and gives the year it was hallmarked, see the table of letters for Birmingham at the link below. The lion in the centre indicates sterling silver.

It was made by Daniel George Collins.

Beyond that, I cannot help you. The silversmith who made it and the ribbon suggests it's a British military medal but it's too early to have been awarded for service in WWI.
