<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Salacan, post: 1764851, member: 56673&quot;]It is neither seal nor coin, but a button.&nbsp; It would have had a welded metal loop on the back, which is now corroded or torn away.&nbsp; It is in old Cyrillic, and seems inscribed (in cast bronze?), not hammered.&nbsp; Transliteration: KEVON ON TO YE UDITA ME; word for word translation: KEVON (name?) HE IT IS DUCKLING MINE.&nbsp; Compliments of my very educated Ukrainian wife.&nbsp; She thinks it was a single button of the type used to hold together a winter cape or fur jacket.&nbsp; Note that the &quot;D&quot; of UDITA is more rounded than the typically pointed &quot;O&quot;s.&nbsp; Probably made by a loving father for his young son.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
