[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 428730, member: 6370"]Okay, I sent the images of this to the British Museum as I have with a few other unidentified coins and medals I had. This was the answer they sent back: Dear **** [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]The object appears to be:[SIZE=2] a Roman Catholic religious medallet (it would originally have had a suspension loop at the top). It seems to be 18th century and made at Rome, presumably for Catholic pilgrims visiting Rome during a Jubilee year (it has Jubilee Year in Latin on the back). Best regards Artemis Manolopoulou Duty Curator[/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT] for more information of the jubilee go to [URL]http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08531c.htm[/URL] I think case closed :)[/QUOTE]
