Found this interesting round with very minimal information. Anybody know or seen this before?

Maybe Bavarian racing medal?

 

found an early Bavarian emblem looks similar, Maybe a nearby state?

 also " rit " seems to mean ride?

Have a look at the top for evidence of where the ribbon was, like remains of a loop.

U.P.M.C used to be a motorclub in the Netherlands named ‘Utrechtse Provinciale Motor Club’. Utrecht is a city in the Netherlands. ‘Rit’ is dutch language and indeed means (race)ride. So we’re probably talking about a medal given to a winner/2nd/3rd place of a race organised by this motorclub.

Thanks, it helps being from Belgium. There’s really not much to find about this motor club but they seemed to be a big deal for the motor sport back in the days. I also found an old article about them with photos that i.m.o. takes you back in time. The title says: “This is what we saw sunday at U.P.M.C.”

Haha cool, what are the odds...You are a biker yourself then?
