Hi and welcome to TreasureNet! Interesting looking find. Unable to ID, but to help others help you, please provide more detail as to where you found this and what you found nearby. For example, are/were there buildings in the vicinity? If so, what kind and how old? Hope you get an ID...

Welcome to Tnet

Your finds superficially resemble Celtic Silver Units of the 'triple tail horse' variety (roughly 100BC to 100AD), which may or may not be uniface and may be in 'billon' alloys as well as silver. There are a myriad of possibilities, so it would help enormously to know the geographic region for the finds... if you actually found them rather than acquired them in some other way. My first reaction is that I haven't seen any which are quite like that and am doubtful about their antiquity... except perhaps as contemporary imitations (not counterfeits in the true sense) by non-Celtic tribes.

Hello and thank you for answering so fast! I found the coin when I went on a trip in Israel, found it in the Negev desert there. So the coin is probably some Jewish ancient coin but the thing is that I cant recognize any symbols or letters on the coin so I'm not even sure it is from that area.

I thought you were showing two similar coins, but it was just the effect of your pics being taken at different angles.

I'll do a little digging but I'm not seeing the coin as obviously from that area. Assuming it is authentic and ancient... imported from elsewhere during Roman occupation?... obtained by trade with a foreign merchant? Either of those would create a lot of possibilities.

Hi - I think Cambodia- which does seem a little odd. But see this:

Remarkable ID, Bramblefind. Cambodia is just about the last place I would have thought to look... and the crudeness of manufacture suggests it's a lot older than is actually the case.

Holy smokes, I bet if that coin could talk it have a heck of a story!
