Hi everyone I have another odd coin which I found.
Had this a while but no idea what it is.
There are letters on the front but very corroded but I was hoping someone would recognize the pattern on the reverse.

I can see on the front a certain letter M for the start of third line.
2nd line is something like __LLV_ maybe.

Diameter is 29mm and about 1.5mm thick.
Weight is 8 grams and I think bronze.

Hope you can help please.

When you look at it long enough, the reverse (first image) seems to read:

"1 / SKILLING / DANSKE" and then perhaps "1771" at the bottom.

The second image of the reverse is upside down.

So, Denmark?

1 Skilling Danske, 1771

The obverse image of your coin is upside-down.

Copper 30 mm diameter, 11 gr weight. Yours is corroded, should explain the weight loss.

Only two dates were issued: 1771 and 1779. 1771 had a mintage of almost 60 million, 1779 noted as rare.
