Can someone tell me something about my medal?
My wife brought this back from the little antiques shop she likes to rummage in every now and then, as a birthday present for her brother, who collects military insignia.
This link takes you to a picture of it:

Does anyone know what sort of medal this is? We would love to be able to tell my wife’s brother a little bit about it, not just “we kinda thought it looked pretty”. The shop is in southern New Zealand, and the crest in the middle shows a knight’s helmet in profile, a phoenix or other, flying mythological creature, accompanied by 4 crosses or possibly even stars (which would make me assume it could be from New Zealand, due to the number 4 – but I am not an expert at all in that field. There are also a lot of British things here, and it may well be from there, too. There are no inscriptions of any kind anywhere, not even on the backside).
I’ll be grateful for any comments or answers.
Thank you
On first look I’d say this is a “fake” medal or
some sort of civil medal. But if I had to bet on
one I’d say it’s a fake medal. The overall quality
does not look too good from the photo. And this
is surely no military medal. The ribbons are missing
and nearly every military medal in every military
service I’ve seen has a ribbon. There’re only very
few exceptions to this rule and in those cases the
ribbon is usually just replaced by a neckband.
