Hi,
I am interested if somebody know what that token (coin) present. Material is copper, 30 mm, 10 g. Picture is unfortunately the best I can do because condition of the coin is not the best. Coin is very thin.
I agree an award. The clue is to figure out what they are doing. No heavy tools present so it must represent some more intellectual field work - not mining. the gnome with the cross (soil sampling tool?) seems incongruous and may be a clue (???). The platform is interesting. lightly constructed it seems to be a temporary scaffold - unlikely for soil judging. Too many people for prospecting.
A profession that would give awards: possibly engineers.?

My guess would be archaeology?
Plenty of amateur societies have medallions given out to their members, and it fits in with everything we see on the obverse!
