Can you please have a look at the image below, and let me know where it may
be from, and what exactly it may be.
I think I can see a few letters on the
side I will call the
obverse, which appear to
read
S MIC -
ARCH (or similar). I expect that this may be intended to mean "Saint
Michael Archangel", although this could be completely wrong - I have no idea.
The other
side,
reverse if you will, appears to show three people praying, with
what may be a Scottish thistle above. Perhaps this is from
Scotland?
It is not ancient, clearly old, but how old?
Medieval? 18th cent.? 19th cent.?
I also expect that it may be some sort of religious
medal, but I have no expertise
in that
area at all, for too modern for what I know or am used to identifying.
Apparently Copper or other base metal;
22mm and
3.15g.
Does anyone recognise this item? Anyone know what it is (or may be)?
Thanks for any assistance given, and/or suggestions offered.
