I picked up one of these from someone who lives near me who basically just wanted to get rid of it. I had no idea what it was worth or when it was released. Obviously it comes from the RAM and it has Decimal coins on one side and a picture of the Mint building on the other. It is in a case with a lid, looks to be about 20 to 30 years old maybe?
I searched on Ebay and found this one.

Anyone know anything about it?

Thanks gnome .... some very interesting information there. I'll have a closer look and see if I can work out which type of metal it is.
Cheers Mike

I have one somewhere in a blue case and all the foam is disintegrating out of the lining. The medallion is Ok though
