Anyone know what country this is from and what it was awarded for?
I don't think it was "awarded" as such. It looks as if it is insignia of some sorts, and not an award.
Possibly field artillery because of the wheel.
Crossed cannons are a common insignia to denote artillery on uniforms in many countries.
But I have never seen this one before.

Possibly Austro Hungarian, there is a similar badge with the cannons and "gear" wheel on this page. Austro-Hungarian Army - Qualification Badges

Being sold as US artillery but I too have never seen this design. I'm thinking European somewhere. Could be pre-WW1.
-
It could possibly be WW2 era Belgium motorised Arty.
Blandford Army Badges and Insignia of WW2 book 1. plate 37.
