Rekinek999 New Member Czech Republic 32 Posts	Posted 11/20/2016 08:22 am Hello everyone. I found a coin among my collection and I have a problem identifying it. On one side it looks like it is a saint (I suppose st Joseph) holding baby Jesus. On the other side I believe it is standing st.Mary holding rosary... I would appreciate some help, thank you in advance Report this Post to the Staff

If not, then I suppose this could be a Catholic token.

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 11/21/2016 06:28 am It is not St. Joseph, but St. Christopher who is carrying the baby Jesus. St. Christopher is the patron saint of all the travellers. Having a St. Christopher token on you garanties you a safe arrival of your travel. These tokens are still widely used: people have such a token in their car, or carry one when travelling. Report this Post to the Staff
