Hi guys

I have this Celtic looking coin which weighs 1.2 grams. I know absolutely nothing about them but I was told few years back it was a fake. It was purchased in a joblot of metal detecting finds, over 100 different coins that were all legitimate,this one was on the fringes of his photos and blurry, so he wasn't touting it for the auction. 

Just double checking, because if it is fake, someone has went to a lot of trouble surely to make just this one, as I cannot find another identical example online??

Thank you ☺️

I personally think it is fake. Each side is from a different coin which should be gold. 

I can't find anything like it in Spink or Van Ardsell. I think it's a fantasy piece.

One side appears to be similar to the one linked above by Peckris and one side is trying to be this but doing a bad job in my opinion.
