Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2878 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 07:25 am I would have said the same - an Indian religious medal - likely in "white metal" My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 09:25 am Buddha is sometimes depicted with only one hand raised and facing outward. This figure has two hands raised facing inwards. Therefore I would say a Hindu medallion. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 07/31/2014 09:38 am Looks to me like Double Abhaya Mudra which represents protection, peace, benevolence, and dispelling of fear. I say a representation of a Theravada Buddha. IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 08/01/2014 08:43 am I'm not sure which script it is; it doesn't look Devanagari (Indian), but it doesn't look Thai or Lao, either. 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
