Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 3:19 pm Found this item in a scrap bin of coins. Non Magnetic, very thin, 1.49 grams. About 19.5 mm. Appears to be Celtic (Runic type eg: similar Lepontic (Celtic) Letters). Could anyone identify this item for me? Edited by Imasnore 05/25/2018 06:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 3:39 pm Going by a quick alphabet I found on google, the coin reads: Top (backwards) RAD Bottom (upside-down) ATHILI Don't know if that means anything in any language? Fun tidbit I learned is that there are only a small handful of coins that actually use the Runic alphabet; even the Vikings preferred Latin for their coins! At any rate, it is simply a fantasy piece.

Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 05/29/2018 6:42 pm HHhhmmm...still searching Celtic Alphabet (Leptpnic similar), maybe a king's initials or a year. No "hole plug" on other side. A composite souvenir. Genuine Celtic coins are thicker and "clumsy" in appearance rather than thin finished. Report this Post to the Staff
Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 05/29/2018 10:24 pm It seems to be a fantasy piece based on an Anglo-Saxon sceat in the name of "Aethiliraed" (images courtesy CNG, Spink and Omniglot.com): https://cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=99790 Edited by Kushanshah 05/30/2018 12:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
Imasnore Valued Member Canada 360 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 05:19 am Yes, it appears to be a "fantasy" piece or an imitation of item exhibited for a souvenir. The alphabet shown appears more correct and the reverse is VERY similar to one you provided (could not upload mine?!!? I like how you got both images on one Jpeg) anyways, it had "roman numerals appearance" symbols and swirls like a "stylized sea shell" design as shown on your Pic. Thank You.
