With all that black stuff it could be anything. Very unusual design though.
I had a round black blob the other day and quessing it was a cruddy coin I just hit it with a hammer. It worked a treat and out popped a shiney 2p. But I wouldn't recommend that sort of cleaning for Fays ring. :o ::)
All you need is some Sunshine and you're set Jan. ;D
