What you have is a Saint Hildegard Follis X# 5.1

Obverse: Large +H monogram in low relief
Obverse Legend: SANCTA HILDEGARDENSIS
Reverse: Mounted rider left with banner with device of the Kingdom of Meridies
Reverse Legend: GARETH RHIANNON VI

"Gulf War VI" This was minted to commemorate, and was issued at, Gulf War VI hosted by the Kingdom of Meridies in Mississippi in March of 1997. This event has the reputation of being the largest equestrian event in the SCA, and Queen Rhiannon of Meridies is a noted equestrienne, hence the mounted knight design. The coin also names King Garreth of Meridies, but instead of including the name of the Kingdom in the inscription, the Kingdom's heraldic device appears on the banner on the knight's lance. In a sense, this type is the first of the "Kingdom badge" series.
