Unfortunately I did not have a scale or a ruler but it was about 10 mm in diameter, and one of these thin bracteate types, so likely no more than a gram.

I have unfamiliar with the design so I could not ascertain a logical orientation. The owner THOUGHT it might be Merovingian but I would not assume anything.

Thanks

It's and interesting coin that I haven't found a match for. My impression is that it might be Anglo-Saxon or at least during that period.

I'm leery of this one. Something about the overall fabric.

@Kushanshah, I don't know where the guy got it. He brought it to our coin club and wanted me to help ID it. For all I know it could be a fake or fantasy.

Also my first reaction (though I have nowhere near your experience). First photo looks somewhat credible (ruler or moneyer name D ? ? R W A S).

But reverse doesn't look right to me.
