  Hi. Please help identify this coin, I have searched endlessly on the net but not sure where to start as the image isn't obvious, I am talking about the small one I have put it next to a 5p for scale. Thank you all

Doesn't appear to be ancient Roman. Would need to see a larger and clearer image of the coin.

 Celtic in style was my guess too. Hope you get it ID'd. |

Hi, thankyou all for your comments, I agree after looking at other Celtic coins this suggestion seems probable. Another thing I should mention is that the coin is also concaved. These are the best pictures I can take sorry. Thanks Adam   |

Sorry, but the images are still to small and unclear. Without better pictures it's going to be next to impossible to ID the coin.

Try standing the coin on a dozen or so other coins, raising it from the background can sometime help the focus. Also take it on a windowsill with natural light if you can, always better than a flash.

To me it looks kind of like one of those Widow Mite coins.
