Any ideas on the authenticity of this almost certainly fake "Celtic Stater"?

    Hi all!

    This coin came in a small lot I bought at auction (not eBay this time), and is supposedly a Celtic stater. However, the style of the coin is very crude, and I seriously doubt there's any gold in it whatsoever.

    However, before I confine it to my black cabinet for the rest of eternity, I thought I'd better check to see if it's genuine, just in case, as I know absolutely nothing about Celtic coins

    It is 20mm in diameter, and weighs 3.96g

    (as a side note, I bought this lot for the other coins there)

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!
