When you accumulate 25,000 GC seals, inquire about promotion and buy the medal, then accept the new quest, go out and kill the NM, and come back. Talk to and salute the guy and he'll give you the coin and Second Lieutenant.

I just can't figure out if it's one of those situations where the entire purpose of this item is the potential to get seals from it and thus keeping it around would be a pointless, sentimental gesture... or if there might be some use for it down the line.
