It looks like a coin, but is it?

[AndyIreland]

It's really heavy and really thick, the weight makes it feel like lead, but it doesn't seem to bend like lead does? Anyone got any idea what it could be?
Found in Ireland
The coin next to it is 3.11cm in diameter

Welcome from the UK. I'm a distant relative

It looks to be a homemade lead weight, how much does it weigh?

Andy:
The design on the rear is of a red deer, by the Irish artist Tom Ryan, and based on photographs taken by Sean Ryan of red deer from the Irish national deer herd in Killarney National Park. In 2000 a coin was issued in honor of the new millennium. The design on the rear was based on the "Broighter Boat" in the National Museum of Ireland. Alan Ardiff and Garrett Stokes designed the coin. The coin was first issued on 29 November 1999.

Try scrolling to the right, the coin is size reference.

The obverse would show EIRE to the left, the Irish harp in the middle and the date to the right.

A magnet doesn't attract to this so more than likely it's lead

Pictures need resized. I cant even see them. Its aggravating to have to scroll back and forth.

I agree but with coins(possible coins) people need to see detail

I understand what you are saying, but when I have to scroll this far back and forth I will just ignore the entire thread and Im sure others will as well. Its too much work to continually resize someones improper posting. You appear to have two coins in the picture. You could have either posted one or made a smaller picture with a higher resolution (clearer). I will continue to ignore your thread. :P

BTW wecome to TN.

The object on the right has the appearance of an adhesive being first attached then ripped off, taking with it part of the object and leaving the pattern of the adhesive in the voids (depressions) as shown.
