More eyes on this please...mystery solved?

Pulled this from an old, small town park about a month ago. At the time it was full of dirt and I couldn't see anything on and just figured it was a piece of trash. I just couldn't get over the shape though, so threw it in the center console of the car. Well, after sitting there for a month, I took it out and cleaned it up a bit. Low and behold, writing and a picture. I can make out the name Brandon, but can't quite tell what the picture is or read what looks like potentially other letters/numerals. The top 1/4 of it has been taco'd, making it even harder to ID. Any ideas would be appreciated.

After further cleaning and examination. The medallion seems to say "InterProvincial Fair" across the top, which is the part that has been taco'd. It says "July" on the left and "1923" on the right. It says "BrandonMan" across the bottom. Some more internet sleuthing has led me to the conclusion that this must be a medallion from a Provincial Fair in Brandon, Manitoba in the July of 1923. They still hold this farming fair to this day. I was able to find newspaper references to the 1923 fair talking about the types of animals shown.

The only question that remains, and one that will most likely never be solved. How did it get from Brandon, Manitoba in 1923 into the ground and under my coil in a small town park in Central Iowa in April of 2021???

Thanks to all who attempted to help, your efforts are appreciated!
