Please can anyone help iD this coin?

I don't think it's a coin... looks more like a pendant or something like that.

welcome to Numista!
has it also a back side?

Thank you for the advice. Yes, I read the forum rules post albeit after posting :-/

i hadn’t considered a pendant, thank you. There is erosion and clear daylight through parts of it so its lack of uniform density could indicate a pendant...

Found while digging in the garden; it does ‘look old’...

It is one sided and around 2cm in diameter, wafer thin but quite heavy for its size...

Seemingly, there is illegible lettering? (2 words?) and a 6-pointed star on the lower right.? And does it resemble a Roman figure?...

reverse side

Surrounding area is steeped in history...
there is a 7th-9th century abbey and a roman road, both less than a mile away.

It actually looks more like a late medieval/early Renaissance era knight to me:


The cyan is a helmet, with a chinstrap and a plume; the red is his sword, and the yellow is a shield with an unknown coat of arms; I see a six pointed star and a slanted banner.

Almost certainly not a coin, though!
