It's quite possible you've got something very special there. If I'm not mistaken the earliest coins used were simply lumps of "Electrum." These were used by either the Turks or the Greeks, not sure which one. Your piece might be one of these earlier pieces? However recently a cache of 477 Thracian coins from a much earlier (possibly) period around 2,000-4,000 BC were found and are awaiting final attribution.

Take Care
Ben
