Canadian Army Reserve Lincoln & Welland Regiment Enamelled Challenge Coin
The Lincoln & Welland Regiment is a reserve infantry unit located in St. Catherines, Ontario. Their history connects to the Butler's Rangers, a famously ruthless band of New York Loyalists who fought for the British Crown in the American Revolutionary War. After the war, the Rangers were given land grants in the Niagara area. There, they formed the Lincoln Militia, which later saw action in the War of 1812.
This beautifully enamelled medallion is likely a challenge coin, which is traditionally used to prove membership to a military unit (i.e. to answer a "challenge"). It prominently features the Regiment's motto: Non nobis sed patria / "Not for ourselves, but for our country."
