I'm wondering if your disc could be Orphenion.  These would have been
zinc and are 13-1/2".  I am interested in these if they would be for
a box I have that is Orphenion.  Is there any way you can give me more

The projections are scooped out on the Orphenion, unlike the Symphonions
that have a raised projection from the front and rear of the hole.
