Featured Teeny tiny **really cute** little silver coin/disc/medal/token-y thing

Hello friends!

I hope someone can help put me out of my misery.

I got this in a metal detecting lot.
( Had quite a few lovely things arrive via the posty lately but am lost on most ( all) of 'em) . )

I don't even know where to start with this. I don't know if this a coin or a medal, or a token or anything. Or where it originally came from. The lot I bought it in said *UK finds* but could be potentially anywhere.
It's one of the cutest little things I have been lucky enough to find. SO TACTILE. It's divine.
Very small ... just over half an inch ( just under two cms). Feels and smells like silver.
One side is I think clasped hands with letter-y type things above ( I and E?) and the other side is what I can only interpret as a king as he has a crown,with a sort of cross type thing by his nose.







Thank you xxxx​

 

Hi Bou!

I agree. Looks like part of his crown has fallen off and landed on his nose?

@daveydempsey may recognise it.

 

Looks like a coin from the European continent produced in the late middle ages. I am no expert since there we so many small nations producing coinage during that time that it will make your head spin; The folks at CoinTalk could likely identify it for you if you posted it there.

 

Thank you both! Tis such a cute little thing. I'll make an account at Coin Talk and see what they say xxx

Edit...sorry for being a pita but where would I find Coin Talk? Thank you xxxx

 

I swear I saw something like that several years ago - might have been on the old Ebay boards. That curly hair and crown look vaguely familiar. The stamp in front of his face looks like a shield to me that is only partly showing.

 

Yes please my lovely!!

 

Thank you Sir Davey,INH is going to do it for me but I may join as well a bit later xxx

 

It DOES look like a partially seen shield now you mention it,Bev,thank you

 

Thank you my lovely! Was great fun! xxx

*Post caffeine edit**

Thank you so much INH,was a ride and thank you again for going to all the trouble of posting it for me and looking for a similar!
(I have a huge box of coins somewhere that I dug up as a child so hopefully one day I'll come across 'em again! )

Thank you everyone <3 xxxx

 

Look at the face of your coin with a loupe,in the photos there appears to be casting bubbles in the low spots.Most coins have been die struck and they have no bubbles.

 

Louped extensively:I see no bubbles

 

hehe...very punny

 

Pretty sure it's silver, I have a nose for it xx
