Army General Service Medal, 1793-1814
Army General Service Medal, Obv: Victoria, diademed bust, left, "1848" below bust; Rev: Victoria, standing, placing wreath on the kneeling Wellington's head, "to The British Army", "1793-1814" in exergue; Ar, 37mm, edge impressed "J. Roy, Canad'n Militia." The suspender has been un-ceremoniously removed from the top, so we obviously don't know what bar the recipient was entitled to. The disc seems to have very little wear; the obverse is hairlined; the reverse has remaining lustre. Some glue remnants. Research definitely needed, but I am going out on a limb thinking the action was in the War of 1812.
