tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7936 Posts	Posted 11/11/2024 07:10 am It's a religious medal, not a coin. The first image is the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, a scene often seen in medieval art, and on some piastres of Tuscany issued by the 17th century Medici dukes. The other image is a nativity scene. Report this Post to the Staff

You could have it tested to see what metal it is. Maybe there's a coin shop near where you live. Edited by livingwater 11/11/2024 07:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6493 Posts	Posted 11/11/2024 09:50 am Gold plated pocket pieces are quite popular as gifts for Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. That coin reminds me of St. Michael coin that we received in a donation solicitation from a religious order. Report this Post to the Staff
