tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7936 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 07:45 am Looks like a modern fantasy representation of something. Crusader style cross in center, and DG ET IVSTITIA ... E PACE (By the Grace of God and Justice and Peace). I don't think I have ever seen such a legend on a coin, though Albrecht of Brandenburg/Prussia used IVSTVS EX FIDE VIVIT. Not likely that this is a coin in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

That would be taking your hobby dedication to the extreme. I agree that it looks like a coin-like object set into a button. The plastic of the button looks like the hard brittle plastic I remember on clothing from the 1950's and 1960's. Also, the coin object looks too roundly made to date from mediaeval times.
