I found this coin when I was a kid, its pretty bad, it has a small circle and looks like a 20 in it, kinda strange. Maybe someone here has one of these, Thanks

It's a Brazilian counterstamped coin, a 20 reis, something like KM# 436. Don't know if you can tell much more about it. The counterstamps were applied in 1835.

Here's an old thread with a similar coin, this one with a 40 reis counterstamp.

If your coin were less worn, it might look something like this.
