Hello Forum members,

Ive got this coin, which looks like an vatican coin. One side possibly an kardinal? And the other side an angel with an sword toward someone. Gabriel?

I can't find this one on the internet and I am wondering if someone knows this piece.
The diameter is alround 19 mm and it weights 3,03 grams.

Found a reference to a 1634 papal medal of Urban VIII by Ottaviano Raggi with the archangel Michael on the reverse and the legend VINCIT DEVS. This may be a lower-end contemporary copy for the lower classes.

Almost. Urban VIII had a lot of medals; the one you found has St George on horseback. Yours is likely St Michael.
