Picture of Roger Jeandell aka "Leipzig"

Hello All, can anyone identify these? Country of origin and time period? I believe the motto at the bottom is Latin for "Liberty and Equality" They are both stamped "A" and sterling on the reverse, slightly larger than a quarter and rather heavy for their size. Thanks and Regards, Leipzig

Hello mil/man, these came with a group of items I aquired from a deceased U.S. vet a couple of years ago. The motto is Libertas et Equalitas. I don't know his branch of service. Regards, Leipzig

distinctive insignia. I wish I could get to my books and find them. they are not american made. looks to be european by the way the marks are. my books are buried under a pile of toy garbage.
