No Idea what this is. Seems to be brass and weighs 4.6 grams and very thin flan. It is on a 1" by 1" square with yellow lines. Text is odd and I suspect it is a fantasy coin.

Looks like an imitation of an old colonial-era silver coin. The details and legend are jumbled, so this is probably your run of the mill "pirate treasure" sold for 99 cents each at beach gift shops. They jumble everything to avoid having to stamp "COPY" to avoid breaking US counterfeiting laws.

Thank you Finn, it doesn't seem like a real coin, so makes perfect sense.
