numismatist6 Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 11/14/2024 08:27 am This ought to be a good puzzle to figure out. It is brass, measures 24.3 mm and weighs 5.28 grams. Unlike the cash coins, the center hole is round instead if square. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 11/14/2024 2:57 pm Using Google lens, I agree with @docc, but note that new copies of this charm seem to be readily available online. The circulation "patina" may be purposeful. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 11/15/2024 5:27 pm Yep, its an "eight trigrams" protection charm. If you want a translation of the incantation on the reverse, this zeno.ru example gives it. For info on the meaning and usage of the Eight Trigrams, see this Wikipedia page. 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

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 11/15/2024 6:05 pm @sap, the 18th Century example on zeno has a square hole. Are you of the opinion that the OP's piece is modern or of similar age?
