Found this coin or token in a box of stuff I bought in an estate sale today. I can find any info on it. Also I believe it is chinese and silver. It is not reeded like a coin, but on the positive side sounded just like a silver dollar when dropped on table. It was in a clasp when I found it.
Anyone have any thoughts on age, country, ect? image.webpimage.webpimage.webpimage.webpimage.webp I apologize all my pictures somehow got flipped upside down.
 
It appears to be a medallion pendant!

I agree with you. Also was thinking the clasp was added like one would have on a nice coin or such. Bummer pics are upside down but it appears to depict an bird with some type of Asian writing. Other side depicts a building, weighs 23.6 grams. Building looks art deco and is on a corner lot..

image.webp Best detail pic I can get for now.

The guy was into Harleys big time. It just crossed my mind the eagle looks way too Harley ish..... Possibly some Chinese Harley token. AARC hope this pic helps. I thought it was Asia not middle eastern writing. ?

image.webp Sorry can't get a picture any better then this with this camera. I am having trouble with camera, lower picture is right side up. No writing or markings that I can see on this side just the building. Appears to be some sort of radio tower on right side top of building. The old style radio tower and the fact the building looks Art Deco makes me think it could have some age. Well I am going to show it to someone who can read Chinese towmorrow, that should shed some light. Also going to get it tested this week. I will update when I find out.

With this added pic it is DEFINITELY Asian, I would guess chinese.
