<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ajm229, post: 70884, member: 3350&quot;]Indded, that image is Saint Peter (the S. Petrus, Latin for St. Peter, gives it away), and I would go so far as to venture that the other side is an image of the gate to Heaven. St. Peter guards this gate, and allows only those deemed to be righteous in the eyes of the Lord to enter. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin looks like it could be gold to me, perhaps a less pure form than 24 Karat. It could be from the Vatican, and that would be my best guess at the moment. If it&#039;s indeed gold, it could fetch anywhere from the couple of hundreds for melt value to tens of thousands for numismatic value. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have to say, that is one really cool coin though! Where did you get it? (Sorry, I am a fan of religious iconology....!)</p><p><br /></p><p>~AJ[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
