It is Irish.
Those are the Dublin silver hallmarks for 1961.

The J.M. might be the Jewelry & Metal Company.
It looks to be a hound in front of an Irish round tower.
Symbols of Irish hope. Missing the harp.
“ Over much of the 19th Century a round tower, a ruined church, a recumbent wolf hound and a harpist were the instantly recognised symbols of both Ireland’s past and its rising hopes of recovering some of that faded ancient glory again in modern times. ”

Need some help with the Gaelic inscription on the back.
PEIL is football ... Gaelic football and the name of a football magazine in the 1960's.
Brilliant thank you so much. Neil
I'm guessing the fob is a memento of a winning season, or membership in a club. I suggest you use the google translate app to help to find out what it says.
Thanks again vetraio50 for the love and information and plein-air-painter for your comment. Also huge xmas thanks to;
dav2no1, aura, jscott0363, Vynil33rpm, kwqd, RichmondLori, Watchsearcher, fortapache and Jenni for the loves. Happy Christmas to all at CW. Neil
I'm having a problem with another hallmark. The makers mark on two fobs is CU both with Birmingham (anchor) assay marks. Gone through all the normal channels so I wonder if anyone can help. Neil
Cheers vetraio50 did you find the cu mystery??
