Not sure what they are or where they are from. Any guesses would be cool. Also if anyone knows where I should take them to get identified would be nice. Cheers, Westking Report this Post to the Staff

The six sided star with the dot in the middle is the Seal of Solomon, a religious Islamic symbol. It would he the Star of David without the dot. On the other side, I don't recognize the importance of the Z, but the A-W is Alpha and Omega, referring to the passage in the Bible. I also see an Ankh, which I think obliterates any chance of finding a coherent meaning here. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 8:25 pm I think that Finn is on to something. The second medal especially has some imagery in some versions of the Seal of Solomon: Here is one image that is very close and includes the snake eating its tail: http://www.esotericonline.net/group...ical-society Quote: The Emblem of the Theosophical Society is composed of a number of symbols, all of which have been used from very ancient times to express profound spiritual and philosophical concepts about the human being and the universe. They are found in a variety of forms in the great religions of the world and their universality is further shown by their appearance in widely separated cultures. Each symbol studied separately will yield a wealth of understanding. Taken together, as in this emblem, they suggest a vast evolutionary process embracing the whole of nature, physical and spiritual, and their study may lead the serious inquirer to contemplate some of the deepest mysteries of existence.
