Anjohl; I also collect Canadian and Canadian Tokens and actually that is where my interest in British Coinage really started to grow.

Looks like a double florin to me! Those are very similar in design to a florin, though I believe I can pick up on minute differences. Just to be 105% sure check the size, it should be 36 mm

It depends what you mean by ancient.
By definition, a British coin cannot be dated before 1707, before that they English, Scottish, Irish or a smaller geographical or regal unit.

Roman Britain is what I mean.
I think that he means Britain and the pre-Britain places that became Britain..
