    I have had this for awhile. Not sure what it is, I don't think its a coin, but worth a shot. It is a bit large, and heavy. Size of my palm. Any ideas? 20130824_194449.jpg 20130824_194458.jpg

    No idea either. The full text, as far as I can tell, is "ad gloriam artis" which means "to the glory of art" ...

    It is often referred to as a "uniface" medal (one-sided). Look on the edge to see if there are any markings.

    Well, considering that the dude is holding a building in his hands, he's still probably somewhere "in the average"?

    ;)
