Catholic token/medal

I found the Christ/Virgin Mary token /medal about 9 months ago while metal detecting. I would like to try and find out more about its age, what it's made of and where it might have come from. It is 35mm in diameter and was found in Somerset, England. Any feedback gratefully received.

That’s a nice looking piece. Congrats on your find and welcome to CT. Sorry but I can’t help with it’s identification.

 

Many thanks for your replies.

 

Google Salvator Mundi medal and see what you come up with.

 

Good call Randy. Lots of similar items apart from the lack of Salvator Mundi on my example. Looking at the Salvator Mundi medals, I'm now pretty sure that my example is made of bronze. Still no real indication of age though. Thanks for your help.

 

I also did an intense Google image search, used key words.
But I couldn't identify the unique item.

 

Maybe it's some type of Communion token? Wiki claims Scotland alone had 5,000 different types.
