I have no idea, but your email should be removed.

I removed your email. This site gets indexed in Google quickly, and an email address that gets posted hits all the internet bots, and no one will like that.

Thanks Fuzzy. I still have no idea what this is but, from now on I will consider it an amulet. When you rotate the first pic 90° clockwise it looks like a gorilla to me.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I think it's a antique bronze and copper. 925sterling as there is no corrosion. Or a cob coin early century but need a confirmation from someone who knows there stuff. I won't give up until I find its history

Hi scotty  to the CCF! If it is sterling silver there could be a hallmark on it somewhere. Look for it. If you find it try to take a really clear picture. This could help nail down the artist at least and maybe year it was made. I'm no pro at reading hallmarks, but I'm sure someone here will be able to decipher it. |

So I did some more initial searches and came across the symbol to be a Tibetan OM symbol and the two eyes on the other side a lady had reconized it to also be Tibetan now how much would something like this be worth a few people said they had never seen anything like it and just passed it off to be a token or emulate. Please share your thoughts on this post. Cheers

Punctuation would help that.  Not to be discouraging but, it's difficult to read and understand completely. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I have been trying to find similar Pendants with no luck. Like you said one side Is the Tibetan OM symbol and you are correct on the other side it is Tibetan, The Tibetan symbol for enlightenment to be exact.
Did you say the center piece could be bronze? Still trying to find more info.

Cool I do think it's an emulate or token of some sort, I don't think it's a coin. I believe the meterial to be of bronze redish tint or a copper n brass mixed like substance there are no engravings on the sterling silver which could be of an early century before they started to stamp sterling silver with 925. I hope I'm on the winning streak with dollar signs adding up lol what would something like this might be worth would you know ? Anybody ? #ineedyourhelp

@sr22, first welcome to CCF. Second that is an interesting piece that you have there. I agree not a coin, but rather a pendant. The fact that it has no corrosion is not conclusive evidence that it is sterling silver. In fact without "925" stamped somewhere, it almost certainly is not sterling silver, and may contain no silver at all. As to its worth, you paid $5, so you could try listing it for something above that on ebay or Etsy. You have some information about the symbology and therefore may extract a small premium when you sell it. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Cool I'm not looking at selling it. It looks good around my neck lol. I still wouldn't mind having it evaluated it is a very old piece. I've done a bit of research and dug up a lot of great information. Still I always like a second or 3rd opinion. Who knows it could be one of my favorite pieces. :p

I was also told this is a mani stone but mine is casted from copper I'm pretty sure it seems to be a lot heavier than a stone would be the age is roughly 515ad-565ad so much info to take in all at once.
