Greek Medallion Inquiry

Thanks for the reply. If you notice, there is a hole for a chain or leather strip so it can be worn around the neck. Also, the color of this piece is a golden brown, my phone is older than dirt and doesn't take very good pictures...

Hello and welcome. Your medal is certainly of modern and not ancient origin. The Parthenon did not look like that until after the Venetians accidentally blew it up in 1687; the building was still almost completely intact up until then.

It would be odd for a tourist souvenir of Egyptian origin to depict a Greek tourist site - makers of souvenirs usually like to promote their own country's tourist sites, not those of other countries. Are you sure your parents didn't visit Greece, or perhaps Cyprus, while in the area?

To the Forum.
