Its a silver denarius minted in Bolskan, an ancient Iberian city located on the site now occupied by modern Huesca, Spain. The reverse shows a horseman with a spear('jinete') and a legend that says: , i.e. "BoLSKaN" in Iberian script.

The only problem is it's not silver and probably close to size of a quarter..
This is a REALLY old picture, but I'm going to pull it out of my collection and take some better pictures.
This one I actually BOUGHT because I love coins with horses and we almost never dug horse coins..
Back 30 years ago (I can't believe I'm saying that) I paid $100 for it.. because of its pristine condition..
I have no clue to its value now..

I have a LOT of early Roman and Spanish coins for you to give me information on, so I hope you don't mind..
A lot of Gadiz coins because that's where we metal detecting... Lots of early Spanish, although maybe 10 Silver and no gold coins, the rest are bronze..
Torrero,
I look forward to seeing those coins. You may wish to start with three or four (front and back).
I'll do my best--as I'm sure others will also do in ID-ing your coins.
