Any help with an Id would be great. On the front of the coin on the left side you can barely make out the word name victoria. On the right side you can barely make out the word queen. At the bottom is a faint 9 all the way to the right which would be my guess as to the date.the back is almost blank except for what looks like a faint PE at the bottom. I know it's not much to go on and it's probably not worth much but I'd like to know what it is.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

Your picture really isn't very helpful in your quest, since it's way too small to see any kind of detail on it at all.

There are several options I can think of. It could be a coin from somewhere in the British Empire at the time; it's not from Britain, or Canada, since those countries were using Latin legends on their coins, not English. One design that seems to fit with the given description is the 1869 Jamaica penny, made of cupronickel.

Edit to add: didn't see your second post, with the size. Given that size, it's probably more likely to be a Jamaica halfpenny instead.

Or, it might be a card-game counting-token. These often appear coin-like, and "Victoria Queen" or some variant thereof is commonly seen on them.
