    Anyone have an idea of possible age of these Chinese Clay coins nothing on other side thought there might be enough on one to show enough detail to identify. D992799E-2E08-4957-ABA7-401BD84CBE3F.jpeg

    Definitely NOT Viking coins! ;)

    Don't the coins usually have a defined rim?
    And usually more of a square hole?

    Try researching saxon spindle whorls or loomweights. It is a starting point. Other cultures would have them as well.
