Default 19th Century British Army Medal hanging on a Chain

Hello,
please can anyone help identify the medal or badge hanging from a soldier's left breast pocket?

Thanks very much.

Terry

I've also attached close-ups of his tunic buttons.

Looks like a watch fob Terry - as he's wearing it in uniform it may engraved as a prize for shooting or something similar.

I think it may be a price shooting medal, as I have seen such of a very similar design.

Cheerio,

Roy

At a guess.... KOYLI (very small photos of the buttons).... but you can make out a rose and a horn.

I was going to suggest an Army temperance medal/fob as well - many were quite ornate, as this appears to be.
