Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/30/2014 10:41 am I will let the other members weigh in here, but I don't think either one is a coin. The one on the left doesn't have any identifying markings... no denomination or language of any kind. One on the right is on negative relief--probably a seal or something similar.
