matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 11/03/2012 07:17 am I have one too, cc1628. I think that it was part of a charm bracelet. It does not have much weight to it, correct? Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/03/2012 08:27 am Vasco Nuñez de Balboa was the first explorer of the New World reach the Pacific (by crossing the Isthmus of Panama). Perhaps one of a series of conquistador medals, or something produced by a municipality named for or founded by him? Report this Post to the Staff
