Yes, I did and if you recall you did respond rather tartly to my observation that it was a modern drawing and that you would better be served by using original artwork. You indicated in another post that using original art gave you problems.

Ah! Thank you very much! The coins I was familiar with are minted coinage.

I think the owner of the site may be able to clarify the item for you. Since its function is to give access to a certain area, I believe the design is a "team mark" (like a star for the Dallas Cowboys football team) to let you into the appropriate "locker room." There was quite an interesting subculture around the gladiators... but I don't know a whole lot about it.
