45rpm gold record?

Hi
I recently bought what looks to be a gold record from a rummage sale. It's just the 45 and has no label(looks to have fallen off), but it does have a number stamped into it: G2 RH3918-1S
It is made of metal and seems to be brass. There are grooves on one side, and it plays, but it's only very muffled orchestral music.

Did I happen onto a deconstructed gold record or is this a special issue by someone?

Any info will be helpful, thanks much in advance.

The music industry awards an artist a "gold" record to hang on the wall when his/her record sold 500,000 copies. Maybe you bought one of those. I am just guessing here for I have never seen one myself.

I agree with Tom. I wouldn't play it if I were you. It will definitely ruin your stylus.
