British archaeologists baffled by symbols on gold earring disc

SW SK/SE AB is a semi arid desert with scorpions, rattle snakes and cacti.

Thanks but it was painfully obvious it's a small star chart.

If its a star chart how come Taurus, gemini, canis major or auriga arent included on the coin? Im sure the evening star would have been significant enough for their time to make the cut onto the coin.

Really, it's a coin & not a manhole cover.
