, lostbutfound!If you can't make sharper pix, write down the text, maybe someone will recognize it.
My guess it's not a coin, but a medal. There are thousands of times as many different medals as coins, making ID much more difficult.
If you can, weigh it in grams, grains or dwt. If you can't, is it light like an aluminum alloy, or dense like gold?
Is it a bright yellow color like brass, or a darker brown, like bronze?
What size is it? If you don't have a mm ruler, compare it to the size of a modern coin.
See how simple this is (I looked through several hundred pix, and couldn't even come close).
