Button Help.

[Garabaldi]

Any idea what this button is? It seems to have an X mark and a line with a P on the top.

Looks like a Catholic "Chi Rho" symbol.

Sure it's not a coin?

Or maybe a token? Looks like it has designs on both sides.

Im surprised this isnt solved.

Maybe this will help.

Found this while digging through some old links I had:
http://www.forumancientcoins.com/NumisWiki/view.asp?key=Chi Rho
and
http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/symbols/chi_rho.htm

I love to do negative images, cause it gives our eyes something "fresh" to look at (in the sense that our eyes don't often see fine details on things that are normal colored). Here's the coin as a negative:

What is the composition?


Looks like a lead seal with the Religious "Chi Rho" insignia. Yours could be a modern copy. Originals have been dug in England, but they are extremely weathered.
I could surely be a coin too.

Here's what I found.

I rotated the "Back" 180º and enlarged the image. Suddenly, it looks like a person sitting there! My best guess is that it's probably a saint token (Catholics being big on saints and all), sort've like my dad's St. Christoper medal.

Also, if you look real close, you can sort've see a thin sharp circular impression above where the figure's "forehead" is. I believe this is a Halo.

Normally I laugh when some one says they see something they have been looking way too long at.

But I have to tell you, that is incredible you saw that, because I see it too!


Now I can go back and look for the match. Great eye!
Could be a great find here. The man may be holding a Cross in his right hand. I can't make that out though.

Dont forget the halo.

Thanks for the compliment! To be honest, I just got lucky. I put a weird solar filter (temperature color variation based on contour) on the token and happened to rotate it and it just popped out, sorta.

My wife says "Why's the guy on that coin flipping you the finger?" Ha ha ha... Then I thought "Well, if he had another finger up, it might be Ronnie James Dio! He's a saint, right?"

Here's that line I think might be a Halo.

Im not saying these are the same medallions but The Christ depicted may look something like this. It may be a Sacred Heart of Jesus medal. I think your image may be reversed. Christs right hand is up usually.




The other hand may be holding a chalice like this antique medal.

There were millions of Catholic religious medals made but Im pretty sure its a Sacred Heart of Jesus medallion. Look at the face and robe.
