Sure looks Jewish to me with the Menorah on the reverse. I would start with assuming its Jewish, but after that I don't have a clue. Its not a coin, and doubt it is a token, I think some sort of bauble. I also don't think its terribly old, as stamping something with an upturned lip like that is not easy using hand stamping methods, so I am assuming machine struck. Chris
Might be some kind of modern adornment. It looks exactly like the Menorah and the other side looks like a variation of the Lion Of Judeah. The symbols around got absolutely no sense (for me), doesn't look like Aramaic/Hebrew.
looks a little like a barmitzvah gift, i recieved something a little similar but i lost it years ago.
If you know its "arammaic. ancient thousands of years" why did you post asking us if we knew what it was? I have seen thousands of antiquities from that time frame and that culture and simply have never seen an upturned lip on a struck, irregular shaped flan before, (short of casting, which is possible but not practiced as much in that geography). I simply do not think its possible using ancient manufacture methods. If you have a reference on these, or archeological sources detailing find sites, please let us know. Chris
