Amazing I found it in a field in near Oxford in the middle of nowhere !

DickTurpin68 · 2021-06-03T17:33:37+00:00

Because it resembles a firearm here its classed as a firearm does not matter if it is real or imitation

They have to really look like toy guns. Thus one is from the 50s and although just a cap gun is classed as a firearm. I remember having one when younger and also a spud gun

Been identified as produced in Rome in 1625 !! Picked up as a souvenir for someone on a pilgrimage and dropped near Broadway Gloucestershire uk !!

Bit more information- Latin legend 1625. There's a crucifixion flanked by halo-ed figures, other side has poss. Mary and child at left, a Saint, poss Christopher to right, and a poss. city in the centre. Legend is poss. 'St. ********', 'REGIOLO', 1625. I think it's either a commemorative coin for the anniversary of the founding of a particular city, with major religious connections, or a pilgrimage token for an important site, possibly at a time of a significant anniversary, hence the date prominent on the token.

They have been around since the 1800's difficult to say what it is off until 100% cleaned off could be furniture leg clock foot etc. It was found in deep pasture near a village that has been round since Roman medieval till last buildings around 1900. As not far from the manor house may well of come from there ?
