I'm bad with these. It's definitely bronze or copper, struck on a very thick, uneven flan, and heavily worn. Didn't have a chance to measure it, but about 23x25mm, about 8 grams?

First thought was princely state, but couldn't find it on Numista.

Thanks!

Any idea what that weird pattern is supposed to be?
