How good is your memory? This:

Re-Enactment-Medal?


or something very similar has been on CCF before. I think it was described as a re-enactment souvenir. It's .925 silver and dated 2001. The series of triangles on the reverse has definitely been seen before, but when.

I should have pointed out that the triangles on the reverse form a very modern letter M

I wondered what was going on there, but from my reading of it gift in modern Greek should be Î"ΩΡΟ


What's with the last character, which I don't recognise.

The last letter is N. DORON is also another way to spell gift/present. It can also have a deeper meaning such as offering/a sacrifice.
I'll run the images by some of my family members in Greece. It can be what you say, or something as simple as a corporate gift.
