Hello,
I wasnt able to find any helpful information about my item. I knew that it is not listed in numista, but before I list it I like to know a little bit about it.
Weight 1,6g
copper
diameter 17mm
thickness 1,2 mm

Any kind of religious medal?
Thank you very much for your help and Happy Christmas.

I think that may be St Vincent De Paul. it looks similar to some of his icons and charms i seen when i was younger, since i grew up near a church who's Patron Saint was him

Very interesting token (or medal?).

It is certainly Catholic, although St. Vincent is also recognized in the Anglican communion.
I guess it was a talisman / lucky charm.
Catholics believe that items which are blessed by an official brings them closer to god. I do not think so, only faith to god is neccessary.
