Or if it is a well known site, some modern Jester taking a fantasy coin and tossing it in the field to mess with the Metal Detectorists. :confused:
On the reverse side, the profile of a bald and fat ruler with a collar in a drop. Easy smiles as if saying "Well, try to figure out who I am !!!" widegrin

tossing such a coin in that place is unlikely, especially the silver ..... In our state, this is a very luxurious joke.

I start with the search for thick rulers and try to compare their periods of government with the period of simultaneous use of battle bits, wide axes and armor. Maybe in their history there will be events that can correspond to the pictured .... Hard work and fun will be ....

Greetings to the community, it's been a long time since I first reached out to you. During this time, I could not find anything specific about this coin - only guesses. Found some similarities with Celtic coins but nothing like it. Now I dared to break up with her, who has any ideas? The coin is now in Europe.

There are some guys on coincommunity.com who are incredible sources of information for ancients. Try posting it there and seeing what they say.

I admit to my non-expert ancient coin level of experience it also looks modern and fantasy.
