    The front of this passes for 10 kt gold. Can anyone tell me what exactly it is? 15027696334831981331373.jpg 150276970475456756307.jpg 15027696334831981331373.jpg 15027696334831981331373.jpg

    You've got me there. It's obviously not a coin, but I'm sure you knew that.

    I would've said an order (as in, some kind of military medal), but have some doubts there. My guess (which is just that - a guess) is that it's some kind of generic piece of costume jewelry made to look sort of like a military order.

    Edit- 10K gold, eh? Well, that's something, anyway.

    I woud say that symbolizes two countrys doing something together. What is the question. Is there a makers mark on it , that might give a lead?

    Both symbols on the front are of the United Kingdom. From there I have no idea.

    While it's true the UK has used rampant lions and (in the past) a fleur-de-lis in their various royal and national emblems, both of those symbols are rather generic and have been used by a number of nations and kindoms over the centuries.

    Yes I agree that they were used by multiple countries.

    There are two countries that have red and blue as their national colors, Armenia and Haiti. Armenia uses rampant lions but not fleur-de-lis, Haiti uses neither. My presumption is it is a ceremonial medal, maybe graduation.
