What is the size of it.

 

[Dave66]

Its about the size of a silver dollar. I thought it might have come off some type of military ribbon.

 

[kingskid1611]

If its that large, I too would guess medallion. I cannot see how it would attach to anything or hang as a medal. It is pretty cool.

It appears that someone drilled a hole in it - it is a National Defense Medal.
