face on a token

[postalgriff]

I found this while detecting under an old street torn up in my home town, along with a couple of coins about 100 years old. It's about the size of a quarter. Doesnt appear to be any writing on it, and the obverse is just the concave impression of the face on the front. Anyone have any ideas?

Need a pic of the back and some size reference.

My guess is late Victorian renaissance revival button front. Possible depicting Zeus.

Reminds me of Vercingetorix.

The Gaulish (Celtic) rebel leader who almost defeated the Romans. (My Hero!)

Here is a rare silver denarius from 48BC, thought to be the head of Vercingetorix. Its one I have in my collection. There is a Celtic Gold Stater with his head but its worth about £100,000 ($200,000). Still saving up for it

It was probably a medallion type piece brought from France.

Go to the seller and make an agreement that in 6 months you will pay him $400,000.00 in U.S. DOLLARS. By that time you will be able to get the Dollars for less than a weeks wages in Pounds.

100 years old is considered "modern" to a Brit.

Nearly right. 300 year old is what I consider modern
