I bet I wouldn't have to ask if some dumb.. person didn't polish this coin. I don't intend to keep it, but I'd like to ask if the date could be id'ed. Even a possible date range would be helpful. I do not see this type in the 1800+ Krause.

L'an 4?

I haven't looked up to see if that date was struck for this type, but what remains looks most like a "4" to me.

The combination of the mintmarks "Artemise with bow" and "Cornucopia" narrows down the possibilities for this coin type to L'An 4 (1795-1796) or L'An 5 (1796-1797).
As you found out: this coin is not in the 1800+, but in the 1700+ Krause.

Well, to me it is a US Half Disme,(sorry if I spelt it wrong) from 1776+ as they are the first official US coinage, not colonial. but I cannot ID the exact date as it is too worn and I do not know much about <1950's coins. Oh and sorry if got the coin wrong well because, as said,I do not know much about <1950's coins.

@coinsarethebest212 : this coin is not a US Half Dime, but a French Revolutionary Un Decime coin, struck at the Paris Mint (mintletter A)
