Pte D. H. Richards

British Army South Wales Borderers

I have found a silver George V "coin". It is the size of a crown (5 shillings)It has a horseman on the back armed with a sword and at his feet a skull and crossbones. It is dated 1914 - 1918. Around the rim is engraved 44473 PTE D. H. RICHARDS S WALES BORD. It looks commemorative and but has no value engraved on it. I just wondered if you could throw any light on this? It just turned up in my late father's random coin collection with a load of old pennies and half crowns.

Editors Note:

What you have is a British War Medal, which was awarded to all ranks who rendered service to His Majesty's Forces between 5th of August 1914 and 11th November 1918 in a theatre of war.
