Trying to help somebody ID this ..any ideas?

It's about the size of a quarter.

My first impression was a Lenin Olympic type medallion. I'm just guessing here...

What is the symbol in the middle on the reverse? My old eyes can't make it out.

Can the focus on the reverse image be sharpened?

I have requested a better photo. Hopefully, he will provide one for us soon.

Could the image below the face represent a chain of islands?

3 stars could also be a clue.

It looks like a crude imitation of an ancient Roman coin made as costume jewelry.

Note the remains of a loop at the top for attachment to a necklace or bracelet.

Looks like a Fugly Mermaid pendant

My first impression of the reverse was a right-handed person sitting and playing a bowed instrument.Nero?

I think the image on the back is a scorpion.

Let's just call it: "The Obama Mama" since it's so difficult to figure out where it's from.

Looks like an Olympic wreath but it's upside down.
