    Is the Saint Anthony medal imaged below of any value? Acquired this 45 years ago in an upstate NY estate auction. All thoughts welcome.

    Sorry for the SNAFU. I inadvertently omitted the size, weight & composition and additional information about the piece:

    Diameter: 33mm
    Weight: 6.2 grams
    Metal: appears to be copper.

    I was told at the time of acquisition by a friend, that the piece was drilled to turn it into a button used to secure a cloak or cape for a priest. He also indicated that the symbols on the obverse were related to Christ.

    I cannot verify the info supplied by my friend (now passed away) but trust it may be of some use in identifying the medal and help in determining its value if any.
