Good afternoon, I'm reaching out to you with a request to help me identify the find. I've already contacted many places, but no one can help. I suspect it's a coin made of silver. It was found in Crimea. It's exactly 2 centimeters in diameter and about half a millimeter thick. Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to weigh it right now. I would be very grateful, even for some tips. For your convenience, I've attached a photo with the symbols that were on one of the sides, which I managed to make out.

Welcome to CCF. I've never seen one of these. It may not be a coin, perhaps it's a token or medal.

I advise X-ray fluorescence testing to determine the metallic composition. If you want to get really fancy, neutron activation analysis can often distinguish between genuine antiquities and modern forgeries.
