.... ummmm, but I could be wrong on this one?

 

no idea on that one. sure it's a coin, and not a button or something?

 

No idea either, but it does look like a button.

 

This is challenging. To me it looks more like a coin than a button. The wreath and M (or are those two clubs with some symbol between?) make me think of Macedon but so far I haven't found a match.

 

I can't find anything like it.

 

I still say button. The reverse is what I am focusing on. OP, does the raised triangle portion have a hole in it that is not visible from this angle? I am saying this because I would occasionally receive similar items in unsearched lots from a couple of sellers. They would just have everything in there, some greek, lots of roman, some medieval, and a few buttons to boot.

I will bet you a VF Late Roman TIF.

 

Sure, why not

(Note to numizmatikci: medoraman is far more experienced than me)

 

What shall I do now? return it to the seller?

 

You say you have no doubt about its authenticity? Presumably you know what part of the world it comes from? It may be a button from a local organisation etc etc which could help you to pin it down...it has obviously come out of the ground, so find location could help.

 

My friend bought it in Turkey,and it looks so good and real in hand.But after your comments I changed my mind..

 

=> perhaps it's an ancient golf-ball marker?

 

I would ask the seller for an attribution if its a real coin. If the seller feels its real, then maybe they know who issued it, when, etc.

 

It is real, its a button? I do not believe its meant to fool anyone any more than a carrot purports to be a potato..........
