Photobucket cost MySpace $250 million plus an earnout of up to $50 million. It is made more of silicon but has some copper and silver in the servers.

I'm not sure what it is exactly but on the obverse, I believe, it's an image of a former king Faisal of Saudi Arabia. The Hejira dates of his life (it's in the references on the webpage) are stated on your medal, 1324 -1395, and I think Wikipedia is a bit off translating it into AD.

On the reverse it looks to me to be the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

We had one of these posted some time ago - see this archived thread. Someone initially identified it as an official Saudi government commemorative medal, then noticed that the genuine medals didn't have the fineness mark on the reverse; that one is probably a jewellery/bullion copy of the medal.

Yours doesn't have a fineness mark either, so it's probably a genuine government issue.
