Help! I have a coin that I can find know reference!

[Jonnivickers]

I was handed this coin by my grandfather.

I can find no reference and unfortunately my grandfather has passed and cannot gather any information.

If anyone at all had any information I would be very very grateful

Many thanks.

There are medallion called 'challenge coins' which are very common in the US forces and now among Canadian units too. Every man from a given unit who has served in a specific location, an action or sometimes just in the unit itself gets one and is expected to carry it at all times. Whenever the unit members meet, any one of them can demand that everyone produce his coin and anyone who can't buys the beer. I think that's what you have.

Here's an explanation of challenge coins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge_coin

I would have thought more a commemorative medallion for the Royal Corps Of Transport. Perhaps

remembering their running of trains in Berlin during the close-down ? Mervyn

That makes as much as or more sense than my suggestion. Thanks, Mervyn.
