rpcoles New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 11/30/2016 07:21 am Hello all, could anyone help please in identifying this? It is 72mm diameter and weighs 288g. I have owned this for over 20 years without having any idea what it is or even what its made from. Many thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

rpcoles New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 12/07/2016 05:33 am Thanks for the welcome! Some more pictures attached. I don't think this is a coin or a medal so probably not the best place to be asking but I literally have no idea what to even call it to search the net for more info. My guess is that its just some sort of souvenir but the fact it is in a Royal Mint case makes me think there must be some info on it somewhere? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 12/08/2016 7:27 pm More pics are definitely a help, but I am still striking out finding any reference to this piece. Could you maybe contact The Royal Mint and ask them directly?

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 12/08/2016 9:53 pm Below is a link to information on the motto: honi soit qui mal y pen(se). I don't understand the tie-in to Fiji (other than the obvious connection of Fiji being a former colony of Great Britain). As the medal references Queen Elizabeth II, maybe this commemorates a visit of hers to Fiji? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honi_..._mal_y_pense "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
