Military badge?

[HuntersWife]

My husband just found this interesting badge. There are words around the 93. They say NEC ASPERA TERRENT. Anybody got any insight on this piece?

What does the back look like, and is that blue enamel or just the picture?

The motto "Nec Aspera Terrent" translates to "Frightened by no Difficulties"
It is often stated as "No Fear on Earth."
Agreed: Regimental

93rd (Sutherland Highlanders) Regiment of Foot Soldiers (if this be the same 93rd) was formed in 1799. The 93rd sailed in 1814 with the expedition against New Orleans, and in the desperate but unsuccessful attack on the American position on the left of the Mississippi lost 3 officers, 2 sergeants, and 58 men killed, and 12 officers, 17 sergeants, 3 drummers, and 348 men wounded. A second battalion, which had been raised for the regiment in 1814, did duty in Newfoundland for sixteen months, and was then brought home and disbanded. The 93rd was in Canada during the insurrection of 1838, and served in North America and the West Indies until 1848. 93rd arrived in Upper Canada in December 1838.

Great find by your husband Can you give us an idea (generally) where it was found and were there any other military relics found with it?
