Ave!
Copper alloy; 50mm/13.6gm
My first thought was that this was a bronze age Celtic bracelet...perhaps for a child? But now, after seeing the examples here on Forum, I'm thinking that it may be ring money.
Thoughts, anyone?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
This is so-called "Celtic ring money" , no one has proved that this is money....
I have several type and size of this between, 2cm to 8 cm diameter...and different thickness and a different number of "cams" on it... ::) ::) ::)

Like quadrant said, no one has proved that this was money. I think things like hair ornaments and harness ornaments are much more likely.
