JonesJK New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/23/2009 2:50 pm Yeah I tried to clean most of the coral off of it because you could'nt even tell what it was exactly. I haven't the slightest clue as to what it's made out of yet. Maybe brass... I dunno? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/23/2009 3:12 pm This resembles an ancient Greek type coin from Thessaly, but I think it's a reproduction made to look old. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 01/23/2009 9:23 pm 50mm? No-one made ancient bronze or brass coins that huge. It's also too big to be usable as a token. I'd guess it's some kind of art medal. 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.

JonesJK New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/24/2009 12:06 pm Yes it's about 2 1/4 inches in diameter. The face seems to be wearing a headdress. Salt water has really taken a toll on the medal. I'll try and take some better photos. Art medal? I'll try researching that:) Report this Post to the Staff
