   Have searched the web and cannot find this particular coin anywhere, unlike the others from my Grandfathers collection which he collected on his journies during World War II.  Any information would be much appreciated.
ONE SIDE - S.AFRICA    Z.AFRIKA    1925 
OPPOSITE SIDE - I assume it says Prince of Wales?
Cannont see any distinctive markings - not in very good condition

	It is a medallion from South Africa, marking Edward VIII's (then the Prince of Wales) visit to South Africa. It sold at: http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/17589162/1925_Edward_Prince_Of_Wales_South_Africa_Midallion.html which can give you an idea of price. I believe your medallion is missing some words on the obverse, but other than that it's in good condition. What a neat find! M.S.
