Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 10:19 pm Goldtone coated like a watch maybe but that looks like an Arabic knockoff, on reverse that should be the emblem of Solomon's court with a 6-pointed Jewish star above throne...no good Muslim would EVER duplicate that symbol. It appears to be the same as Spence noted, you have a fake medallion of the Coronation of Haille Sallsie Suggest you get the weight. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 10:27 pm Exactly @crazyb0. Actual weight should be 45.3 g. What is yours?
