What I know about horses can be written in capital letters on the head of a very small pin. They are not dogs, are they? I admit, they looked kind of prehistoric for horses.

Nice try, but it was s'posed to be "circular objects with horses on them", not "horses with circular objects on them".
I have some but don't think I have any imaged. I shall have to see.
One of the oldest coins I have owned was a pretty little Corinthian stater with a winged horse on it, circa 4th century BC or so. Nice Greek silver. But it's gone and I don't have a pic. And Regulated pretty much sewed up the "gorgeous horsey coins from ancient Syracuse" category with that dekadrachm above.
Thanks Stefanie and FilthyBroke for the ideas. It looks gold to me which has me confused, it could just be the patina or something. I honestly have no clue when it comes to anything World or Ancient. What a great looking coin though, makes me question the things I collect.

I think its an Ancient Greek Silver Coin (Dekadrachm) about 400 B.C.E.
