Hi Chris,

if it is genuine, it is obviously some sort of Celtic coin or an ancient imitation.

Thank you!  That will help get me pointed in the right direction.  This coin came in as part of a collection of around 200 ancient coins.  It was the only one I had no clue on.  Thanks again!

If anyone else has any more information, anything will help!   ;D

FOUND IT!!  Thank you setting me on the right path.  Here's a link to what I found.  I think they are selling coins (sorry) but it has the pertinent info on what it is.  Learned something new today.
