mikehy Valued Member South Africa 147 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 04:29 am Hi All, Hoping someone on the forum can provide some info on this unknown medallion. Have tried Google search with no luck. Weight = 40.4 grams Diameter = 48 mm Either Bronze, Brass or Copper. Also it has the date 1982 on it. Would appreciate just getting to know what this item is. Thanks in advance for any assistance in identifying for me. Regards, Mikehy Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 10:03 am I saw the side with 1982 (looks like 1987 to me a little) Since those are the only text I can find, they are the best clues for me to help out. Please clarify text. I can't read the side that looks like this at all. Report this Post to the Staff

mikehy Valued Member South Africa 147 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 02:37 am Hi TNG and Spence, Thanks for the responses. The side you queried the writing appears to be 19Z.U82. the writing on the other side looks like Z.U 1982/7. looks more like a 2 though. What looks like a volley ball I think is supposed to be the moon and the planets and stars. Hope this helps a little more. Mikehy Report this Post to the Staff

David Graham Pillar of the Community Australia 1610 Posts	Posted 07/20/2021 4:39 pm It looks very amateurish, certainly not made with 1980's medal making technology so I'm guessing it is a hand made item. With a DNA strand, tree's etc and a couple I would be thinking a commemorative for wedding? successful IVF? I don't think we'll ever know the real reason it was made. Report this Post to the Staff
