I think I may have found something good

[Southie E.J.]

I found this medallion. Its crusty and beat but it appears to be very old and rare. It has a soldier of some sort standing on a dead body with a sword in one hand and a spear in the other. The words that I can read say SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS on it. Other parts of the corroded medallion I think had words on it but most of those words are missing. Theres nothing on the back but of the imprint of the front. I hope I found a goodie!

Southie E.J. wondering if yours has the pin hook backside
like in fig B,i cant find a pic of the back of the seal
to see what it looks like, could we see the back, of yours
and see which one you have,they look a lot alike from the
front,both are prob equally rare, nice finds
