theunsla Valued Member South Africa 112 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 01:03 am Hi everyone I cannot solve this one on my own... The coin seems to be made of lead, but is clipped (broken). It looks like an old Judean coin (the chalice) but with Roman writing and what seems to be a date (1760). * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 13487 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 8:06 pm It's a "communion token", once used in certain (mostly Protestant, almost always Presbyterian or related) denominations, to make sure that only verified and properly prepared members of the church could take part in the communion service. The lower pic has a bible verse relating to Communion: 1 Corinthians 11:26. The words around the communion cup in the top pic may be the name of the church, or perhaps the name of the minister who owned the tokens. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

theunsla Valued Member South Africa 112 Posts	Posted 11/14/2018 06:32 am Thanks to Sap, I have established this is a Scottish communion token from 1760, catalogued as follows in the book Communion Tokens of the Established Church of Scotland: 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries: Dalmellington. Ohv, DAMHELENTOUN around edge; communion cup between PS \| 116 in centre. The final N is retrograde. Rev. 1 COE II 26 1760 around edge. Loaf of bread in centre. Report this Post to the Staff
