Stars around the head are possibly a halo. (= religious medal)
Could you provide a text version of the inscriptions?

BMVIC is an abbreviation referring to the Blessed Virgin Mary. And I see one of these for sale on a Dutch site...

Didn't translate from the Dutch, but doesn't seem to provide a lot of details about the item:

Seems to be a medal of the Sodality of the Virgin Mary. One turned up on the metal detecting forum here not long ago, from a different time and place, and of a different design.

Hey! The coin image is not very lucid and hence I guess it's a token more than a coin. Nonetheless, you should feel good to posses something like that. A coin generally has a mint mark, the year of minting and the legend that tells us what nation minted it, and what the denomination is (among other things).
