Hello "hipnos":

As I understand it, the markings on the rim of your medal under reference are normally found on original specimens of this particular medal. The "835" denotes silver content, and "PR. M. BLN" stands for something like the Prussian State Mint (Munzamt) of the Chancellery located in Berlin, which is where it would have been produced.
