I got this from friend. Some local colectors told me it is first celtic coin and it is very old. Now tell me if you know something about this. On some forums they told me many things about this but I still believe this is coin... Unfortunately I cant say nothing about this.

It does not look like a coin to me.

That does NOT stop it being used as money, as the Celts actually used other forms of metallic circulating metallic currency as well.

I'm not aware of any primitive monies or proto-coins that look like this, Celtic or otherwise. The only cross-shaped primitive money I'm aware of are the Katanga Crosses of central Africa.

I really have nothing to add, but I just want to say "wow!" I really hope that this is some kind of proto-coin.
