Looks mediaeval or early modern, and looks like it's made of lead to me; there are countless varieties of lead tokens from Britain in the 1700's with this kind of broad style. A quick search on the UK Detector Finds Database didn't turn up an exact match, but the closest thing I've found is this one. 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

The token you linked is the closest pic I've seen,so I will let my friend know that the guy he bought it off was celtic,not the token :) Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
