: A yellow metal coin, 1.5" in diameter, stamped "1971" with an olive branch and "pax" on one side, and two winged birds, I assume doves, facing each other holding a small branch. I looked in commenorative coins, and couldn't find it. My Mom wore it as jewelry, in a bezel.

Is that the only thing it has on it? If so it is almost certainly not a coin but just a medallion of jewelry piece. One other possibility would be a Franklin Mint art piece. They were quite common back then.
