Can anyone identify what is on it and what it represents? It weights 2.21 grams. I think I see a building with tall thin trees on each side. Thanks

Lead wouldn't keep a stamping very long since it's so soft Upvote 0

It sure does look like a building with trees to the side. The arched door looks somewhat temple or church like. Upvote 0
