    :cyclops: <- That one fits best. I guess Greek because there's no legend...but the weight...maybe some kind of shield or solar wheel on the reverse.

    Aztec? Maybe a cave dweller. Possible a Viking.

    Too thin for Greek, no legends so not Roman. The thinness of the flan suggests medieval. No Islamic writing so suggests its pre-Islamic or European or other areas not conquered by Islam.

    Given this, my guess would be northern European or South Asian, but that is all I got. :)

    Well so far @Mikey Zee is on the right track, if he worked with @Aidan_() he might figure it out.
