I deal with fonts a lot at work and just something about the e keeps bothering me seems super familiar haha. Is there any medieval or ancient coins that ever used a single letter as a main design?

Thanks for you inputs. As you asked, looking at the edges they appear to look like this <> they are not flat, I'll try to post a picture of the edging. I would love for it to be a very mysterious piece as well!  |

The line around the edge means that it's cast, which means that it's not very old and probably modern. My best guess, and it's only a guess, is that it's associated with some type of fantasy game. It's still interesting and mysterious, just not old.

The edge sort of looks like it was designed/made to fit in a bezel.
life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Not an exact match, but some of the symbols between the arms of the cross look like they are from "Magic the gathering".

It's a cast fantasy piece with virtually no value.

Thanks for all your input everyone, still a neat little find. And was very cool nonetheless trying to figure it out! I'll see what more I can dig up with the information provided.

The four symbols around the cross... one looks to be a modern hammer and chisel, the next a maple leaf? The third is possibly the sun and finally an 8 pointed "symbol of chaos" which I believe is used in the fantasy game "warhammer" though it could derive elsewhere and just be used there.
I agree that it looks modern and cast, but in any investigation surely these symbols are the clue to where it came from.

This coin is from a fantasy park in Utah valley called Evermore. It's a cool coin. I don't think very many exist.

@kevsteelio, @molocai, and @hermiony, welcome all of you to CCF and thanks for helping us to solve this mystery. It is always satisfying to have an unknown piece definitely identified. I hope you stick around and help us with some of the other difficult to identify pieces that get posted.
