About the size of a dime, but almost oval in shape.

Looks kind of like a lepton but not quite, perhaps that will be a starting place to look

Thanks Neil, but the print seems to be different from any Judean coins, thanks for the hint though.

I do not know about ancient coins, but the image reminds me of modern coins from South Arabia and Yemen -- the large dots within the points of the stars.

Evynr, you're right it look similar to the symbols on the coins of South Arabia.
I went through the Yemenite coins, but did not see anything similar.
What would be the predecessor of the area of Yemen?

Looks like early Ottoman copper

It does look similar to stuff like this on one side:
http://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=123137 but ottoman coins usually have something written on one side.
It might also be Juchid ? They have a LOT of different types of coppers with nothing but some boring geometric design:

WOW thaks so much, that does look very similar and also the "clipped" ends like it was made in string form and afterwards cut from one another.
Thanks again.
