Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 8:02 pm @norran, first welcome to CCF. Second, with regard to your second piece, this does not appear to be coin, but rather a token. On the first image, I can make out the inscription OMNISPORTS and a stylized symbol (perhaps a trident). I can't quite make out the inscription on the other side, but the wavy-haired bust and two fish potentially point to this being an image of Neptune/Poseidon. Any chance of you posting an in-focus pic of that other side to help with making out the fine details?

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 9:10 pm I've seen them online described as "Vintage Club Med Solid Brass Greek Poseidon Water Omnisports Medallion Pendant" - that's a mouthful. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 09/14/2018 9:16 pm Well done Bob. The other inscription is CLUB MEDITERRANEE, with the letter M looking like waves. An interesting piece, although the OP's example may have spent some time in the water.

norran New Member Egypt 2 Posts	Posted 09/15/2018 04:28 am Thanks very much everyone ! Spence, unfortunately these are my best photos after a few trials Bob, so that first token is a fake, not worth anything ? Report this Post to the Staff
