Peter I see,on the coin' a Polish eagle,surrounded by the word "Narvik" on top,"Beisfiord" on the right, Ankenes on the left side, the date 1940 at the bottom and, a distincly Polish eagle holding a military cross of some sort..... To me it looks like a Polish WW2 souvenir coin of some sort and, nothing to do with being a bomber's bagdge or with the King's Regiment.... Jo
