I recently attended the Perth Legacy Militaria Auction on Sunday (next one is in October) Which mainly has military stuff but also quite a few rare Western Australian Coins and Medals.

Anyway, I managed to win This Coin which is titled "Perth Military Tournament 1913" and in Latin has the words "Pro Rege Et Libertate" which translates in English to "For The King and Freedom. besides that I don't have any useful information and that is why any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Sounds like it is a medal, not a coin.

I don't know much about it being rare, if value is anything to go by.
Found the 22mm diameter medallette in question on
Google Images search:- " medal Perth Military Tournament 1913".

Reverse:- shield supported by winged gryphon on right, horse rampart on left
- value around $5 U.S.
