Ok hi all....
I know this is a long shot and am not expecting miracles, but i know there are some knowledgable people on here so here goes....
Today i found a tiny hammered, pretty poor condition...
My camera is rubbish for close ups and to be honest all you would see is a small silver disc..
I am going to attempt at explaining it from the little i can see with a magnifying glass..(magnifying usb camera on order ;-) )
Size...approx 17mm diameter at its widest and approx 16mm at its smallest...
To give a better picture it sits comfortably inside a new 5p piece with just a tiny amount of the 5p rim showing.
It is wafer thin
On the reverse side (tails to me)
There is a definate shield which takes up the whole coin and is split into 4 segments...
In the bottom right segment is a cross.... not an equal cross but more of a crusifix cross.
Directly above that segment is what appears to be the head of a Dragon and partial body
The 2 left side segments are a bit buckled and very worn with nothing to be seen with an ordinary magnifying glass
On the other side (heads to me)
No facial features visible with mag glass, there are some letters and numbers but cant make them out, except for a number 8
Around the edge are the dots...its slightly off centre and as said very worn....
Now i dont realy expect anyone to id this but if you do then you are definately on my xmas list...
Otherwise i will have to wait for my magnifying camera to arrive..
Thanks for looking.....

. Cru is right about putting you posts in the right place, I started off in "General Discussion". If you had put this post in "What is it" I would have had achance to get it wrong before Cru got it right
