    It seems the words are in Hebrew, although I can not understand any of them. Not sure it is a coin, but it looks too round and grainy to be real.

    Here's one like it:

    Ira & Larry Goldberg, Auctioneers
    Jesus, Silver Medal, c. 18th Century, 33mm.
    Probably used by Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem as good luck talismans.
    Features high relief bust of Jesus with Hebrew letters aleph, yud, shin in field.
    Probably an early piece since the Hebrew letters are quite clear.
    5-line Hebrew inscription on reverse. Rarely seen in silver. Very Fine.
