Nick,

The case lid and medal obverse reads, "Al Harass Al Maliki" (The Royal Guard)

The top of the obverse is the Saudi flag , "La ila il allah mohammed rasool allah" (There is no god but Allah - Mohamed is his messenger)

The lower half of the reverse image - a stuck on plate, "Ihda'a min Ri'aassah Al Harass Al Maliki" ("A Gift from the Royal Guard Headquarters).

Regards,

Owain

Nick, I suspect it is a hand out for visitors as a souvenir. Nice quality base metal but somewhat spoiled by the 'stick on' plate. I doubt it has any commercial value other than as space filler. Owain

Value aside,  it is a really cool item.  I'd be happy to display it.
