Title: Lion with 2 faces and crown over scroll

Any ideas?  I think it may be a school as the medal is for Tug of war.

More information needed, I think. 

What does the other side look like? 

How do you know it is for Tug of War? 

Which country does this come from? 

Do you know the age? 

Observation - The artist had very little idea of animal anatomy! 

Regards 

Chas

It's on eBay. Someone in Poland is selling it.

I have been researching this design for a while but this is the first time I have seen it on anything else.  It is indeed a tug of war medal so is likely to be British.

The badge is not attributed and could be a school or corporation etc.  However as the medal has the same design it suggests a school or similar.  At least it confirms it is likely British and not continental but despite a lot of searching I cannot identify the badge or the design at all.

The motto says Trust in The Lord ,or something very similar.- eg I trust in The Lord .
Perhaps a Church School.

That would make sense.  They might have Church cadets.
