Any idea?

Hi guys, found this trinket. The attached image is on one side, the other has some ingrained initials and 'sterling' printed round the rim. Doubt its of much value but interested in the character displayed...google image couldn't recognise it? Thanks in advance

Looks pretty cool
Italian / Greek origin maybe

Hi Ramjet, here is a pic of the other side - looks like a personal engraving?

We are going to put it through a jeweller cleaner and see if it shines up.

It looks like a coin on the other side. Silver bezel added.

With a little help (ok a lot!) a mate was able to find a similar image which led to an identification! The inscription says "saint christopher * protect us". Happy with that as i'm off to chile in a couple of weeks and i'm told st christopher is the patron saint of the traveler!!!

Great info. Researching our finds is another interesting part of the hobby.
