Unknown religious coin/token [solved]

5 posts • viewed 59 times

Hello everyone I need help identifying this elusive coin/token. The coin appears to depict a flying angel holding a phyrgian cap on a stick with rays coming out. Its diameter is just slightly larger than a United States quarter and the composition appears to be copper or bronze.

 So it is about 25mm presumably. 

With it in hand how many of the letters on the second 

picture are visible? Maybe …DN … ZACA .. 18 and so on.

 It is on here: N#57833 

Looks like I will have to amend / add to the existing obverse lettering on there. 

Yes, done that now, pending referee approval.

 Slightly better picture on there, 

but still unsure of what is written on the book.
