I remember reading it was a religious symbol at one time.

I have found several tokens and even a silver ring with this on it. This is a good luck symbol I was told and as you notice it is different than the natzis as it is backwards . Somewhere I read it was Navaho Indian good luck symbol I understand. You will notice that there are other symbol on the token also.

So I found a site that had some pretty good research and I'm sure there's others on the coin it's easy to see the spur horse shoe and clover but the 4th I guess is debated maybe hyroglifics site claims to have researched hobo symbols and Indian symbols too

The Nazi swastika’s arms have a clockwise bend. My understanding is many of the Eastern and American Indian cultures had similar symbols which bent both ways and had different meanings.

But yes, the swastika was considered a good luck symbol until perverted by the Nazis. I have found an early 1900s good luck token by an insurance company with a swastika on it.

Yes, Hitler was not the first to use this symbol, it was here many centuries before he was born.
