The Xerafim of this date only had the shield with O-D and the cross on reverse with the date.
KM illustrates this piece.

similarities, as it has a shield also, cross is alot different the on ont he object I have is square on the eds doesn't point out like that cross, also in each corner of the cross there is five pellets unlike the other one shown on the link, also we can see the d on this coin but I dont think the other letter the other is an "o", more like an F or an L

In coins and heraldry, the "square ends" make a cross potent. This is one of the three things I feel we need to see before we can say we've identified this as a particular coin of Portuguese India or Portuguese Malacca: a cross potent, five pellets in each angle of the cross (instead of the numerals of the date), and a Latin legend. I think this was a good job in finding the mintmark letters to either side of the shield, though!

From what I can see I think the smaller shield has anchor and rope in the centre from what I can make out, along the bottom there seems to be the number 8 and 0 of its a B and an O I have negative shots of this object you able to make out the anagrams more clearly if any wishes for these photos let me know

Since it's been brought up, there really isn't any detail in this shield that confirms it's the arms of Portugal. There is a bordure, or band around the edge, but the Portuguese arms feature a " bordure of Castile," which has a series of castle turrets along its length. This bordure looks like a deep trench, so I was thinking it might once have been filled with enamel decorated as the bordure of Castile, as coinsoul suggested. The central design should be five tiny shields, arranged in the form of a cross. Of course, the crude colonial issues seem to lack some of these details to varying degrees.
Thanks for the better pics, rooneydog. More food for thought.

This is really an interesting item and I hope that someone can find out what it is.
I personally don't believe that this is a coin.
