I was invited out today to metal detect with AirmetTango on one of his permissions. I came across this coin please help me identify. Would greatly appreciate.
what I find different are the crosses on the edge on the reverse. They look more straight than the one I posted. Very close, but not the same coin.yea...it's just a little crispy. You can see the symbol dead center on the back

I think it’s a match - I was confused at first too, not just looking at the crosses on the edge, but also the prominent “S” of the lion’s tail didn’t seem positioned right. But it’s just that the photo Dan posted of the obverse on the found coin is upside-down. Turn the photo of the “fresh” coin over, and it’s a match:
