Summary
Fob, Royal Visit of Queen Elizabeth II, Australia, 1954 AD.
The fob has the date '1854' written on it. This is clearly a manufacturing error as Queen Elizabeth II didn't visit Australia until 1954. The 'EIIR' on the fob refers to Queen Elizabeth and there were no Royal visits to Australia in 1854.
