It can be a fake all I know, because there's many fake ancient made for tourists. Report this Post to the Staff

Couldn't find out much about it, but at least you have a starting point.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/09/2023 10:30 pm I looks to be waaay too round, and reportedly too thin, to be of ancient manufacture. I would think that it is contemporary with 18th century jetons or silver tokens. Unfortunately, these are not in my area of knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff
