Hello Ron,  to the forum. That is a very, very interesting looking coin - I don't think its Celtic but I do think its ancient, I've not had any luck searching so far but will let you know if I do. |

Interesting coin!
Just guesses here, but the knobs on the head might identify the figure as Pan.
I haven't found a match yet...

If it's Pan, my guess would be a Roman Republic, Roman provincial, or Greek coin. So far, I have not found a match. If I do, I'll let you know  Edited by DVCollector

Unless someone here has this specific coin, it's going to take some time to ID.
It's a matter of randomly finding a match. I look at hundreds of coins each day, but so far no match.

Wow...I would have never guessed this is from the Nederlands. It explains why I couldn't find a match. Still, old coin! |

It had me completely stumped - thanks for letting us know what it was gider. I thought it looked a few centuries older than it is and would not have guessed at it being Dutch!

I think all coins that far back where done with a handheld die and a mallet by a low level grunt who just wanted to fill his quota and get home to his family. All old coins are off center a lot compared to coinage since the Industrial Revolution.

its a ..... floris IV 1222-1234 To be pedantic (and so future searches can find this thread better), it's a silver denar from the County of Holland, during the reign of Floris IV. Example for sale on ma-shops. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
