This is a unidentified medal that I am open to hearing your thoughts about. Both the top and bottom portions of this are made of Canadian large one cent coins, which date to (1876-1901) from what I can tell based on the fact that it has Queen Victoria and the detailing of the crown.

 

The top part has the front filed down and has "Troop" stamped onto it, and the bottom is also filed down and has stamped "USF2" in a star pattern. The star is the size of a US quarter.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I will include some photos of it below.

Hello-

I wonder if it could refer to Troop F of the the 2nd US Cavalry that was overseas in WWI- it could be a theater made type award of some kind!

 

Pretty cool to think this was there and prized by somebody!

Thanks for sharing it!

David
