Ngdawa Valued Member Sweden 347 Posts	Posted 03/12/2010 09:43 am This is what I can see: On peso sagrado = A Sacred weight / A Sacred peso S. Josep Dos llaves = Two keys Roma 1770 = Rome 1770 Might this be correct? Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 03/12/2010 4:13 pm Id agree with echizento - a religious token or medal for St Joseph. Possibly from the Philippines and the date 1770 prob does not indicate its year of minting but rather something to do with a centenary of St Joseph or something to do with Rome.

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
