I have a friend that bought this trial medallion but he can't find any information on it anywhere, I could swear that I seen the uniface being used as an example on another website but I can't find said website. The only photo I can find of it is the only photo on google that I can see and it is of the coin that he bought.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Looks like a Brit police badge to me :angel:
hmm a bit of info might have helped, but found ebay listing
"Australia: 1977 QEII Silver Jubilee Uniface trial Medallion. 31mm dia. RARE"
I imagine that Sap will step in and clarify this for us :angel:

Whoops sorry mate, wasn't even thinking. But the listing that was on ebay is the one that he bought lol. I've seen that ERII on a couple of other medallions and they were Australian military medallions or badges, a couple of other collectors were thinking military too.
I have deleted my response as it was that far off target, , my eyes must have been closed.

Have not looked in Carlisle.
Sorry, but it's not a trial medallion. It's just a uniface generic medallion the RAM made for sale to anyone who wanted to buy one. There are two sizes with this same design in Carlisle, C1977/18a is 30mm, silvered and struck by Amor. C1977/26 is 52mm, silvered and struck by the RAM. The example of C1977/26 pictured in Carlisle is engraved on the blank side, as a bowling championship medal.
Judging by the slight differences in proportion, I'd say the medal pictured in the OP is actually the smaller one, C1977/18a. The 2000 Carlisle price supplement gives a value of $10 for it.
