Default religious medallion

I think it is copper, can not find any info on it. It is pretty heavy, about an 1' -1 1/4 long by about 1" wide. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Very cool, and an unusual shape... Religious items are so often oval and round.. I like!

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!

Thanx for your replies. It is different, that makes me want to know more about it. I tried doing some research, but there is so many medallions out there. I'll keep searching away, lol.

Thanx PAPPY for the info. I will do what you suggested. I will definately let you know what's up. As KellyCoChick said they are usually round or oval, this one has me stumped. Thanx again.
