Guessing fairly widely here, but this may have a connection to
Charles 1 of England. The phrase For Church and King is closely connected to the English Civil War. Maybe try the Society of King Charles the Martyr.
Can't help with the initials though or the ribbon. Stylistically I guess 1920s.

CGS possibly "Church of the Good Shepherd"
or (your being in the UK) "C.... Grammar School". Any town or city near you?


Oops, sorry. Just had a closer look and I beleive it's CGB.
Could stand for Church Girl's Brigade but not much info on Google.

And yet another edit! Just found this image...

Thank you everyone for your help, Very much appreciated. I'm in sale which is near altrincham and stretford. It would be nice if this item was worth something. I am at the moment about to e mail the picture of this and an unknown coin to a dealer and see what he thinks of them. Hopefully I might be rich soon but I wont hold my breath, lol.

Cheers everyone :)
