5 pointed star medallion

[biohazz65]

I found this recently while hunting a pond that has seen continous activity since the early 1800's. I think it is a religious medallion, but despite spending hours hunting the web for anything like it I am officially stumped!



It is about 2" wide and 1/8" thick and heavy.

Thanks in advance!
