Thanks for the vote of confidence Bob!
@panic, that is a sweet little denar that you have there, despite the damage from the mount and the wrinkled flan. I can't find an exact match so I will offer you a couple possibilities based on the pics that you have already supplied.
1. It could be a denar from 11th or 12th century Regensburg Germany. Certainly there are some with various combinations of wedges, annulets, and dots in the quarters of the cross and a church building on the rev. It is always dangerous to bet against Bob when identifying coins and so this could very well be what you have.
2. Another possibility is that it is early feudal France, perhaps from Normandy or Tours. This would be roughly the same date range as above.
Perhaps the most satisfying option would be for you to post better pics (ditch that Euro, nice and tight just on this coin, well-lit, facing the right-side up, and in focus over the entire coin). There is a whole section here on CCF that has best practices for coin photography. It would be so much easier if I could get more of the inscription. Right now, all I have is C V * S H?N? on the obv and + P A I on the rev.
