TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 8:35 pm I am going to guess it is a medal from Canada commemorating the 21st Birthday of Princess Diana of Wales which would have been in 1982. Report this Post to the Staff
N 540 New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 9:20 pm Thanks for the post but the Latin? on the front and back says "I serve, never yield / surrender". Would that be on a commemorative coin for a 21 year old princess? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I just really don't know about coins, royalty etc. Thanks for your effort though :) Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12381 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 07:02 am I'd like to offer an alternative view on the medal... I agree with TNG that it is Canadian in origin, but I don't believe it is a 1982 commemorative for Princess Diana. Considering the long history of the unit, I believe the "21" seen on the medal refers to the regiment's celebrated 21st Battalion. Possibly a challenge "coin" from the regiment Just my thoughts...

N 540 New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 5:55 pm Thank you as well Commems. I spent another couple of hours looking the internet over and I think it's a challenge coin as well. https://pwor.ca/wp-content/uploads/...ins-0918.pdf Report this Post to the Staff
