Medal ID Question
 
Hi, anyone able to identify this medal, please? It might be a state medal or even foreign which is why I put the thread in here.

The one at the far right of this row of Australian ribbons:

Sandpaper Proficiency Medal?

As Nutloose says, looks like the UNTAC Cambodia medal - UN medals usually have the Sky blue stripes on them in various combinations, and the Australian DF gives permission for recipients to wear their UN awards.

Can't see the ASM in this group though but may be off to left as we look.

Thank you, Nuts, Dave and SLXO, that is the one. Excellent work. You've done well!

We aim to please :). The clue for me was the UN colours in the ribbon, it was then a matter of just searching through them..
