    Light, thin coin. Not sure if its a coin or a medal or how old it might be.
    The reverse reminds me of a British florin. It looks like a Christian religious medal with the dove and Jesus and Mary... Thanks for your help.

    Definitely a religious medallion.

    I see the word SALVANOS which means Save us.

    Looks more like the Trinity
    Father, Son and Holy Spirit

    The Dove represents the Holy Spirit

    The ladder is an early symbol for firefighters.

    I didn't know that, is it Latin? I am mainly trying to figure out the age and origin of the religious medal. I recognized the reverse to be the trinity but the obverse is new to me. Im guessing its Jesus in the front possibly with Joseph and Mary? or two of the apostles?

    Definitely religious in nature. I’m thinking more along the lines of a medal instead of a coin. Nice find.
