Help with translation on plate

I have this plate that is very heavy copper or bronze with some type of silver metal coating or overlay - it's about 13" in diameter, 1.5" deep, and weighs 3 lbs. I have been told that based on the writing on the back of the plate, it is most likely Indian or Southeast Asian. I am wanting to find out what it says - the only part I can read is '1913'. I have attached a picture of: the front; the back with part of the writing that goes around the outer diameter of the plate; and a .jpg file that is a scan of a tracing I took of the writing. Thank you for any help you can lend me.
