january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 4934 Posts	Posted 01/22/2024 08:45 am I tried to check on Numista and there wasn't really anything that matched. Most bronzes remotely this thick have portraits facing right, most of the few that don't are in completely different style, and the two or three that face left in similar style have incompatible reverses. The overall look and shape reminds me of Black Sea area coins, but it would be weird for those to turn up this far west. (I tried to search anyway and couldn't find any good matches.) In the Netherlands I'd expect Celtic, yes... I hope someone turns up with an ID! Report this Post to the Staff
pinpoint Valued Member Netherlands 97 Posts	Posted 01/22/2024 2:59 pm @january1may Thanks for your help so far. This is a realy " hard nut to crack " . Until I couldn't find a match in Celtic coins . I my opinion this is an original ancient coin and not a fogery or tourist copy. I will also searched by Black See region . Regards from The Netherlands, Pinpoint Report this Post to the Staff

How did you acquire it? You said "found" in the Netherlands - was it a metal detecting find? Report this Post to the Staff
pinpoint Valued Member Netherlands 97 Posts	Posted 01/22/2024 5:18 pm @january1may This coin is found with a metal detector. The finder is a honestly member of our Forum. Of course I can't give 100 % guarantee about authenticity . Regards ,Pinpoint Report this Post to the Staff
jecz79 Valued Member Portugal 444 Posts	Posted 01/23/2024 7:14 pm The netherlands would be odd for a base metal celtiberian. There was commerce but those did not travel far that I know of. I have not see its like. Report this Post to the Staff
