I found this one in a junk bin. It's just a tad smaller and thinner than a bronze British penny. It's all been worn down. I can't make out the original design, but someone took the time to carve a deer or antelope on it. Kinda neat. Does anyone else have a coin with an image carved on it?
It looks like a reindeer counterstamp jlblonde. It could have been made as some type of Christmas ornament or token. Is any part of the design raised, or is it all incuse? It's hard to tell because of the poor condition of the coin. Whatever it is though I like it. Bruce
It's incuse and hand carved. I can see the scratch marks which are uneven and not uniformed. Also, the raised parts on the body were left for artistic reasons. I can see the scratch marks up to the ridge.
