DZNZ Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hello, I am new to the forum. Nice to meet you all! I was metal detecting near an abandoned 18th Century Polish/Roman Catholic stone church and found this near a tree. I am not sure what the writing is or what from what orgin the coin/token comes. I do notice a celtic knot and a women looking at the north star on the back. I took this several places and they could not identify it. Because they could not identify it, they are assuming it is a fake. Whatever it is, I would greatly appreciate any real input! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 any way to get a pic of the other side and of the edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumisMattic2200 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 The script is interesting, though unfortunately I'm no expert - it looks a bit like the type of lettering found on coins of places like Azerbaijan for example...definitely interesting..

hiho Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Interesting piece, a photo of the other side would be helpful. And just because a few people can't ID it doesn't automatically make it fake. Think positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZNZ Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks for the encouragement. I don't care either way, really, I just want to get to the bottom of this mystery! Here is the other side of the coin--you can make out a woman's face and the north star. Interesting piece, a photo of the other side would be helpful. And just because a few people can't ID it doesn't automatically make it fake. Think positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 my best guess is that it is prob keltic... but knowing next to nothing about keltic coins... that just is a shot in the dark... id still like to see the edge of the piece..

I assume you mean Celtic coins. This is by no means a Celtic coin, looks far too modern, my guess would be an early 19th Century token of some sort.

SlavicScott Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 just a guess, but my first thought was some kind of modern "aged" token, similar to the dozens of varieties issued in connection with the Lord of the Rings movies/books/theme. unable to find anything even remotely like yours, but it might be something for you to investigate further.

I'm inclined to agree with Scott that it's a modern aged token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
