Hi can anyone help please?

Found this coin today which I'm guessing is a copper token of sorts, but struggling to ID on google??? And also what is this tiny little fist shaped thing?

Thanks

That's on heck of a coin Stampy. I bet it made your ears ring.  At that size it's got to be either a medal or a commemorative coin.  What's on the other side.

The little hand could be the end of a pipe tamper ?

Val, your not wrong, to be honest it made me jump out of my skin!!!

Chef, I've tried to clean it, but the crud is really stuck fast, cleaning ideas welcome?? I would say it may have a bust of someone!!! As most coins that have come up have been between, George II and III perhaps him??

Thanks for looking

Given how thick it is I would say it's a commemorative medal rather than a coin the plinth/tomb usually symbolises somebodies death unfortunately without being able to read was is on the plinth or know who is on the other side it could be anybody as they were minted pretty regulaly Undecided

Thank you for trying, sadly I just can't find a way to remove the crud off this medal.

I'm sure I've seen a similar Sarcophagus somewhere else and I think it was on a Roman tomb. Just can't quite get it together though.
Anyway I've entered it into my search engine and maybe something will pop out in the next few months. Roll Eyes Grin  (it's an age thing)

Well its taken a while and endless soft brushing with a fiber glass pen but I have ID the medal.

Its a James II Commemorative Medal, from Benjamin Weiss collection.

Now I know what it is I'd love to get it properly cleaned. Anyone know of any product I could drop it in which won't damage the bronze but would clear the heavy crud???
