I know it`s a religious coin of some sort, but i can`t find a match from my research, more curious of it`s date if anyone can help with that, It`s about the size of a dollar coin. thanks-

I have no idea.

got a magnifying glass? the letters look pretty clear.

 

[prolab69]

They are not clear, i tried camera zoom with a loupe placed on the lens, 2 magnifying glasses together, almost seems like another language, in some spots i can place 3 letters together but then it just gets blurred, It`s been in the ground a while, at least since the 1940s

My memory is rusty, but I think we've seen this medallion before here on TreasureNet. ??
It looks very familiar... and this is the only site I would have seen it on.

Can you post a clearer expandable zoom of the back

 

[prolab69]

I wish i could get them clearer, but this is about as good as it gets with my camera. , the obverse 3rd pic, seems more clearer.
