Celtic Bronze - help with attribution please

I picked up this small copper coin at an auction recently. It was described only as "unidentified Celtic". I have searched through Spink "Coins of England" and also Mack "Coinage of Ancient Britain" but so far have no definite ID. Closest seems to me to be Regni, but all the examples quoted with a head on the obverse also have some inscription, which this lacks. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Measures approx 11mm diameter, appears to be copper alloy, and weighs 1.89g.

Did you happen to buy it from b-coins on eBay?

 

No. Came from a local auction house in Devon (England).
Your query worries me - is b-coins one of those Ebay operations peddling fakes?

 

Yes, he sells fakes and the fabric of this coin reminds me of some of his products. I am not really familiar with Celtic stuff but this one looks like it has a very thick flan; which is unusual. The lines of the engraving are unusually thick also. b-coins, and several other fake sellers, is also located in England. Below is an example of a fake Celtic coin from this fake seller.

 

OK, thanks for the heads up.
I would appreciate any other thoughts/comments before I write it off as a bad lot!

 

It's a bad ebay fake I'm afraid. You can ask on the Iron Age Coins group on Facebook if you need more opinions.

 

Thanks for that. I don't do facebook, so I won't be doing that and will have to take your word for it.
Pity, but it didn't cost a great deal, so not much loss.
