Orangemen-Souvenir-Medal
reverse has a crest with a number of the standard symbols in it
Haven't been able to find the crest among the ones on line yet.
Probably from an Organeman's lodge in Canada The Loyal Orange Institution more commonly known as the Orange Order, is a Protestant fraternal organization based primarily in Northern Ireland and eastern provinces of Canada July 12 they parade to celebrate the battle of Boyne 1690

I like the obverse design.

This particular piece looks like it was struck by Schaab out of Milwaukee.

Well if they were stamping them in the mid to late 19th century as I have found out one of the devices in the crest stopped being used in 1896. The same basic design was made up of official and unofficial crests of the provinces, It was also popular on a post card of that era. It is from one of the Canadian lodges Most likely from Ontario since it is just across the stream here
