Unknown if medal or?

Bought this from an military site that sells medals.
No one could tell me what it was including the seller but I liked
and bought it.

Still would like to know what this is? This writing looks Arabic?

The flags should tell you something, I can't tell what colors are the one on the left. I am fairly certain the other is Republic of San Marino, so I am assuming the left flag is Italy. You definitely need someone who understand Arabic.


It could be a more modern service award for San Marino citizens in service with the Italian army or maybe a 20 year civilian service award in San Marino.

Wild guess, is it is a 20 year party service award for The San Marino Fascist Party, which was allied with Mussolini's Black Shirt's. Might be very rare given the San Marino Fascist Party was around only 22 years and in control of San Marino 20 years. But as I said , "wild" guess.
