Sorry to revive this thread but I think it may be a celtic POTIN type coin after all.. looks just like the ones in this link on ma shops.

Not sure, tho...
Original post:
Today Westfront was so kind as to show me a field with potential for roman finds.
We worked the area which showed evidence of roman settlement for about 4 hours.
The field felt like maybe someone had detected in the past since there were not that many finds but still we found some interesting artifacts.
2 "vulva" metal fittings
1 Roman coin (Westfront might upload a pic)
1 possibly celtic coin
The unidentified coin seems to have a running man with shield and sword on one side and a horse with 2 circles on the other. The design looks like it might be of celtic origin.
I tried to take pictures in a way that the shadows make the design easily visible.
The edge looks sharp which made me think of a possible immitation or fabrication error but it could also be due to a cast or copper core?
Looks like bronze to me but I might be wrong. I Have not cleaned it, only washed with water.
Any ideas on how to clean without damaging?
Thanks for looking, ID appreciated
