Title: Apparently ancient coin/medallion of unknown origin and value
Post by: Jonathan L2 on November 07, 2018, 02:39:14 pm

I've spent several hours looking at online databases and have come up with no direction or idea of where it originated. Any help would be appreciated.

Unknown material, not magnetic

If you turn the medal 90 degrees clockwise you can see the bust of a young boy/girl with lush hair looking to the left.
For me it´s a modern medal/pendant, maybe early 20th century.
