    I think that's supposed to be Jesus; he has a beard and halo. I'd have it professionally tested if you're going to sell it.

    To me it doesn't look Russian, because of the shape of the cross.

    Beautiful, Mario.
    The value of the pendant will be different from the value of the coin, but an amazing find for $1!

    Coin collectors won't want this, because it is not a coin, and it is not 10th century. This is for someone who is looking for a beautiful Byzantine style medallion. Could be popular with Greeks or Cypriots.
