Unknown celtic coin for ID

[Turbo-beal]

Well i am not normally stumped when it comes to identifying coins but this one has realy stumped me It must be celtic by design but i have never seen anything like it before? When found it was thought to be a hammered as its flat and wafer thin and roughly the size of a rose farting. Trust me when a say its super thin and flat i would be greatful for an id

Celtic design looks right but hammered and that thin it's very nice but Foreign import surly of what not sure like it though.

Great find,could be an imported coin as they were normaly quite chunky flans,

well spotted Mike Could it be Black Bird Rider type -1600 ??abc it's that thin wonder could it have been rolled that flat? who know's still great eitherway.

Looking at the two I think its more likely to be the 'barley boar' type because of the reverse, also the object above the horse is almost the exact match but without the circle,...maybe a mixture of the two coins??
I think its thin because it was too heavily struck & then maybe clipped??

Better photos would help loads.

See what you saying Mike just can't see the corkscrew tail on the horse ..Intriguing coin stunning I love it something different.
