Anyone recognize this medal? Just slightly smaller than a half dollar.

Looks as though it could be Armenian n memory of the great genocide in 1915. That's possibly a stylised Mount Ararat below the 1915.

It's actually a depiction of the Tsitsernakaberd memorial to the Armenian genocide, in Yerevan:

So this medal must date from after 1967, when the memorial was constructed.
