CopperHat New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 03:02 am Any help with this appreciated please. Found in the UK in a farmers field. Progressively cleaned with olive-oil over 5 days. Colour looks more bronze, but photos come out gold. However, the blob in the middle is more silvery. Many thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 08:43 am @cop, first welcome to CCF and thank you for adding the weight and other details. That always helps. I believe that the Bronze Age (2,000BC to 700BC) pretty much predates the start of coins, Additionally, those early coins are typically not as round as what you have here. Assuming that you found this in the ground in the UK, I would much sooner suspect a British coin or token that has been heavily damaged by fire, environmental exposure, or both.

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 05:37 am There was "proto-money" of a sort during the Brinze Age, especially in China, but they didn't have "coins" as understand them, and as this object is shaped: a flattish metal disk. My best guess, with that "blob in the middle": an old button. 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 Report this Post to the Staff
