Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/31/2014 12:39 pm Looks like this was carved by hand into a tin disc. The language is gibberish--just lines and symbols trying to look "ancient"; probably inspired by Phoenician and/or Runic alphabets. That said, an ID may be impossible as this token is quite likely unique. Members on an esoteric/occult enthusiast forum might be able to help with the triangle sigil, if it has any meaning.

Illustrations here. The accompanying text also states that pentacles made into medals are most effective when the "planet" they are associated with is matched with the correct metal; for tin, that would be Jupiter. Your piece most closely resembles two of the Jupiter pentacles. 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
