St. Gerard Majella Pendant

[KeninFL]

I dug this up this morning in a local park. It is about 3/4" diameter. The front has "ST. GERARD MAJELLA...PRAY FOR US". On the back it has "ANYAYA STERLING" in VERY SMALL print at the top. Can anyone date this or estimate it's value? I looked on eBay and found similar ones but not exact. The skull in the 5 o'clock position seems to have relavance.

Thanks for looking and HH.

The skull would represent Calvary...which is a translation of Golgotha... (which means 'place of the skull') which is the place where Jesus was crucified.
