I have reposted this request with what I hope are better photos to determine the authenticity of this coin. Your feedback is appreciated. Small bead is my belief.I am sorry if unable to see clearly but my equipment needs improving.
Although it is damaged already, holding it with metal tongs can only do more harm.
For the photo, lay it on a flat surface. Switch to the macro mode on your camera (flower setting). Take some closeups of the obverse (heads) side legend where it reads REGINA, with the beads in the shot as well.
It really looks like the A points to a large bead. If it were small beads the A would point between the beads. I stick with my original guess of large. As stated above, take a close up of Regina on the obverse for more replies.
When looking at the beads, if it looks like you could fit another bead between two beads, then it is a small bead. If there is no way to fit another bead between two beads, then you have large beads. That usually works for me.
