It's 1727 5 kopek. It can be a bit dear even as a filler piece. This is my example  The rotation is interesting |

Though I do have to admit that I might have bought it for the clear variety anyway! But that wasn't the main draw. |

It looks like a Fouree - a layered counterfeit with the upper layer corroded away exposing the corroded surface below.

Less of a hint and more of an interesting observation: as far as I can tell, my oldest CCF post mentioning that I was looking for this dates back to April 2012.
@Lembafc - not as far as I can tell, but interesting guess!

Orienting the first photo that way makes it look like Saint Andrew's cross.  And it looks like there are remnants of a legend around the rim. Overstrike on a Brunswick coin? Edited by tdziemia

The coin appears to be another type of metal, silver? But what do I know.
I second give up after ijn1944.

I give up. ...I legitimately expected this to be a lot easier. If there's no good guesses in a few more hours I'll give a larger hint. EDIT: @macmercury - as far as I can tell this is copper, as expected. The bright color is a trick of the lighting. Edited by january1may

All I can guess is as you dropped the hint is the orientation of the coin. It would be classified as die rotation error but there are a few known for this series. This is an example  |

A similar type as shown   At this point it's probably easy to guess what exactly I've been looking for, but aside from that, effectively yes, that's the correct answer. |

It definitely was a bit harder to tell. Overstruck coins are home to a lot of interesting coins. Now this is a challenge What is this?  No cheating! |
