This small beautiful coin dug in Spain does not appear to be Roman,
Maybe someone can give me insights as to its origin and maybe value ?
I called this my "Chess Piece" coin !! for obvious reasons ... but I have no Idea who claims this beauty.

Wow. That does look archaic and unlike any Roman coin I've seen though I know the early republican coins features animal motifs and Spain was conquered pretty early. If you do manage to identify it please let us know, I'm going to have a search myself for at least similar types.
Out of interest what part of Spain are you detecting?
Would love to have a search there, I lived in Majorca for a few of years in the mid 90's but I was in my 20's then and metal detecting would have bored the life out of me.
So much history though with Moorish artefacts like the coin you found recently, where I lived was Alcudia the Al bit being a Arabic influence, but Phoenicians, Greeks, visigoths.....
Maybe next year when im on holiday in Palma Nova I'll get a chance but I'm unlikely to get my detector through the airport. Not because of the authorities but becuase if my Missus saw it she would break it in half 😆
