We haven't the faintest idea what it is but the words on the one side is Fattorini Bradford. Thanks for reading!

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 04/11/2018 7:26 pm Hello and welcome. We will move this thread to the appropriate place for you shortly, but in the meanwhile, here is the answer. What you have is a "false shekel". It is, in effect, a religious medal. The design is loosely - very, very loosely - based on an ancient Jewish coin, from the time of the First Revolt (66-70 AD). This article on the American Israel Numismatic Society website does a better job than me at explaining exactly what they are, why they were made and the original ancient coins they are copied from. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
