I'm leaning towards Carnutes. What do you think Don?

 

[Mackaydon]

Westfront,
I agree;they are another strong candidate. I was concentrating on the lips; similar to those shown on the OP's coin and on the coins of the two tribes we mentioned. Seeing the reverse of the OP's coin might provide more clues.

I drove a Turkish Major General for a week during SHAPEX 76 while NATO talks were ongoing. Wish I had a metal detector back then and had time to search some fields over there.

Wouldn't have done you much good unless you like breaking the Law. It's illegal, mostly due to the amount of WWII ordnance laying about.

That is the ultimate dirty old penny. That even puts a teens wheaty to shame.

Those European coins put just about every coin we find over here to shame.
Nice coin, kbmarcus!

Crusader: Not this tour - I was at NATO HQ with the US Delegation. I was at SHAPE from 2006-2010 though - and where I started metal detecting as a project to find troop locations for units in the 23/24 August 1914 Battle of Mons!
