Hi Guys,
I want to identify a coin with below description, I think it may be of Jewish heritage, and it is possible that it dates back to the Middle Ages or even earlier.

The coin is a very unique and valuable object, and it is important to learn as much as we can about it

A circular gold coin, made of 21 carat pure gold, weighing approximately 21 grams. Its description is as follows

The front side is engraved with the Star of David, and between the tip of each triangle and the other is engraved a prominent point. In the center of the star is a prominent point from which straight lines emerge. Each line indicates an inner side of the star. Completely outside the star, and specifically between each vertex of an inscribed triangle, there is a prominent point numbering six points.

The second face of the coin is even more intriguing than the first. It depicts a scorpion with open arms and a menacing expression. Between the handles of the scorpion's arms are three stars engraved in relief. Eight slanted and curved lines emerge from the inside of the scorpion, while on its back there is an incomplete triangle engraved with only two sides. The scorpion's tail consists of five adjacent circles, at the end of which is the well-known scorpion's stinger. On the left and right sides of the scorpion are three stars on each side, with a total of six stars.

@kris, first welcome to CCF. Second, best practice is to only start one thread per coin. Since your other thread is in the correct subforum, I'm going to lock this one. Folks can respond here:
