It's a medal that's been enameled. The 7.1 could be a figure on the Richter Scale, so this piece may commemorate an earthquake.

It is a medal to commemorate the handover of Hong Kong. Here is a little about it. The pictures show translation.  I have an app for that 😁
 

Authority over the territory of Hong Kong was formally passed from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China at midnight on 1 July 1997, ending 156 years of British rule in the former colony. Hong Kong was reestablished as a special administrative region of China, and largely continues to maintain its existing economic and, until recently,[1][better source needed]governing systems distinct from those of mainland China.

Good job, Woods.

The inscription on the reverse, 中華人民共和國香港特別行政區,    translates to: "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic"

@Just Bob thanks for full translation. You fluent in Chinese or you have a kool app as well? I have several world coins or tokens with Chinese or something similar i dont know what they say so ive been unable to look them up.

It’s called photo translator. It’s takes a picture and translates the language to English of any writing in the picture. It isn’t foolproof in that the better the image the better it sees letters. But it’s handy on “tell me what this is” questions. I only recently stumbled on it myself.

No. I followed the links that Woods provided, found the Chinese and English versions of the inscription, checked with an online translation program to be sure I had it right, and copy/pasted.

I don't read Chinese, but I believe it is a medal commemorating the annual July 1st (7/1) marches held in Hong Kong - possibly one particular event.

There is a Wikipedia article here:

Hong Kong 1 July marches - Wikipedia
