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 😆

WAS detecting... All of these coins came from Spain when I was stationed there in the 90's
I returned from Spain in 1996 and have not been back..
Almost ALL these coins, Spanish-Arabic-Roman and anything else were dug within 100 miles of Puerto De Sainta Maria
outside of Cadiz and Jerez de la frontera, South of Seville Spain.

I don't know the laws now but even back then we were sometimes run off of places by the Guardia Civil...

Looks almost identical accept behind my head appears maybe to have some letters ? any ideas or is that just wishful thinking ?

I've seen 40-50 varieties of this coin but never one with letters behind the head ; though that doesn't preclude the possibility that such a variety exists.
