The figure to me looks like Saint christopher but it has no hoop for it to be off a pendant so I think that I may be wrong and that it may be a coin. Take a look at my pictures and see what you think. Many thanks in advance for any information you can give me. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 02/22/2015 6:36 pm Definitely St Christopher. Both hands on his staff, his left arm crossing in front of his body. And around the edge from 9:00 to 11:00 I think I can make out the letters -RISTOP-. Report this Post to the Staff

Turner79 New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 3:26 pm Thanks to everyone for the help especially Philadelphian for pointing out the letters around the edge, I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. I have found an antique St Christopher online that looks like it's the same one. Mystery solved! Maybe I'll get my coin collection out and you can look at some of those for me next. Thanks all.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 6:27 pm Not quite. See how much farther back his elbow is on this one? On yours, the elbow is right below his face, and centered over his body. Report this Post to the Staff
