What are the coins measurements? (in inches or mm). Can the dirt be cleaned off, and another image taken with something in the image to show a size reference. Can you measure the coin in inches or mm?

The coin looks more like a jeton or counter token. The symbols on it are a type of magical device, often found on old hunting sword blades.
These sword I share I found quickly ...I have seen some with the symbol much more like yours with all the stars in that fashion.

I think they are very similar, and this is my best guess only

It is 14 mm and it is not dirt, it is a stain
And this stain is a measure for the value of a coin in Iran
And some people say this is a native coin
And in Iran, such coins and Sasanid and Parthan coins are sold at the price of 400K

Wow you’re right
These coins mostly belong to which region?
According to the old people of my village , there is a ancient cemetery near my farm and it is a low hill, and I found these objects on that hill, and there are many pottery around there and there is the place of registration of Iran's cultural heritage.

The coin(s) are great, the pottery fragments are amazing!
Thanks!
There are many broken pottery jars around the hill near my farm
It is an ancient area and I remember that there was an unbroken pottery jar with a fish carved on it, unfortunately I have lost it.

I am Shure others know more about these coins then I do. I think they come from a wide range across Europe going back to medieval times?
The symbols on it originate from? The near East?
Back in ancient times people would put magic spells on pottery bowls and then smash them...
Has the coin been tested as solid gold??

Yes, I think it is from the near east
And if the Near East is related to the Scythians, and the Scythians are the Aryan people of today
Yes, this is a solid gold coin
And what do you think?

I think the location you found it is a little suspicious , but possible. I think it looks a little suspicious also, the way it's made almost looks cast... But I don't know if that's necessarily bad in this case.
If it's gold for certain then I think it's likely really important. And figuring out would be probably worth while.

I don't know why you mention

" if the Near East is related to the Scythians, and the Scythians are the Aryan people of today"

I think there's alot that can be said about the above, but is it relevant?

What's your thoughts exactly?

If it's gold sell it as high as you can ultimately
Gold coins are out of my league...
You'd probably want to learn as much as you can about it first..
That's it for my thoughts
I'd like to learn more about it also...

The Scythians were nomadic people
They migrated from the Middle East to Europe
And I think that this coin is one of them
I took the gold test of the coin and it is gold
And finding customers for ancient tools in Iran is dangerous
For example, most of them cooperate with the government
If the government knows that I have this coin, they will confiscate all my assets
And this calamity has happened to many of the other people
And their locations are strange Do you think this is a native coin?
