<p>[QUOTE="The Pirate, post: 2756452, member: 87662"]Hi, This may not be the best place to post this but thought I would give it a shot on the off chance. I found this in the UK whilst metal detecting but as yet cannot identify it much. It appears to be made of lead alloy/pewter, approx 20mm diameter, about 4mm thick on raised areas and weighs 6 grams. There are no legends. The obverse is in the design of a celtic pellet horse. Not sure of the reverse though as I have not found a similar design, it may possibly be a very basic bust or even a wine glass or a jug depending on which way up you look at it, could even be side on like a horn, there are several lines radiating from the flat end but i do not know what that signifies. It is quite like a Celtic potin or a Roman billon. Could possibly be an inn token. Even any thoughts on the reverse design would help?</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]632475[/ATTACH]</p><p>Reverse.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]632479[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]632480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]632481[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
