Tks Rob I'd like to see the picture if you can find it

Very interesting—thanks a lot for the reply and the link, Jerry. I’ve had a read and I’m going to follow up on a few new leads. I’ll update when I find out more

Yeah, I didn’t think it was Celtic myself. It’s definitely similar to some of those examples, but I’m still not sure if it’s lead or silver — I’m leaning more towards lead based on what I’ve seen so far. It’s a very interesting find. Thanks very much for your reply Chris. Yeah Fingers crossed someone recognises it and can ID it. Take care.

Hi chris, thanks for the reply. I was thinking it could be lead, and I’ve looked through a lot of images of similar tokens. Keeping in mind that it’s obviously been clipped down, I still haven’t been able to find a close match. A friend of mine also ran it through an AI camera system they have at his workplace, and this was the readout it gave.

all, I recently found what I believe could be a medieval coin while metal detecting in a cornfield in Castletown, Celbridge (Ireland), and I’m hoping to get some opinions on it. The piece is quite small — smaller and thinner than a modern 2 cent coin. It appears worn, but I can make out what looks like a cross on one side. There are also some pellet-like markings, and possibly a letter (maybe an “A”) beneath them, though it’s not very clear. The shape isn’t perfectly round, which made me wonder if it could be clipped, broken from a larger coin, or possibly even a token rather than an official issue. The metal doesn’t seem obviously copper — I initially thought it might be silver, but I’m not certain. I’ve attached photos of both sides. Unfortunately, the detail is quite faint, but I’d really appreciate any thoughts on: What type of coin this might be Whether it looks medieval (and if so, what period) Or if it could be something else entirely (token, foreign, etc.) Thanks in advance for any help!
