Brian Mc Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 01/20/2010 6:17 pm The symbols made up of short and long lines that circle the reverse are I-Ching hexagrams. This is probably some kind of charm or token. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 01/20/2010 8:02 pm Correct, it's a Chinese charm, with the eight trigrams on one side and the twelve "Chinese zodiac" animals on the other. Example on zeno.ru. 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
