Please reference attached photos - s/n N 16268. As discussed elsewhere, this numbering was not done at the mint and believed to have been punched at the unit level - the number corresponding with the serial number of the certificate awarding the medal.

Thinking about this a little - maybe it would have been easier if all the awards were uniquely numbered (or at least identified) by the same level of folks who were dishing them out. This of course leaves less work at the mints and more administration for military units. (Military units do love their administrative work though!)
