Thank you! That example looks about right. That's an incredibly detailed horse on yours. It's truly amazing how good those engravers were.

I'm going to cheat, because this token is neither ancient nor a coin -- but it's definitely rather small, and definitely has a horse on it. It's a bronze Edward VII 1902 coronation model half-farthing, with St. George (and his horse) and the Dragon on the reverse. It's 15 mm. and weighs 1.5 grams.
Wow, looks a lot like his Sovereign and Half-Sovereign that I have. I had never heard of the Models. I looked them up, and it seems a very neat area of collecting.
