A small possible blob or possible cut out bust, probably right, from a coin. This 'blob seems to be formed of base silver. The 'blob' is a slightly matt white metal colour with hints of coppery green showing through as a couple of tiny dots on one side. This item might just be a waste blob formed during production of some other item and it's shape as a bust just fortuitous. Alternatively this 'blob' might have intentionally been cut from a coin to remove the bust from the flan for an unknown purpose. See SOMDOR-DC6398. Weight is 0.50g, height is 14.07mm, maximum width is 9.87mm and thickness is 1.59mm.
