CuriousGuy New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/06/2018 11:50 pm Found these coin/medals in a small village in Thailand. They're heavy so I think they may be made of silver. Does anyone have any idea what they are? Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

The second one is from Thailand and a good description can be found here: http://goccf.com/t/29584 Report this Post to the Staff

The original is silver, but I am not sure if yours is an original or a replica. There are so many fakes coming from Asia I would almost assume that it is a fake until proven otherwise. You would need to weigh it and test it to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff
