The center of one side, the flower-like shape, seems to have been colorized in some way. So I guess this is the front side.
The 8 is strangely off-center (is there another number to its right?) and the leaves/feathers engraved in the center do not cover the whole center just a part of it.
Interestingly, there seem to be denticles (or teeth-like lines) around the rim?
We'd have to start from determining whether the 8 and the 5 (which I cannot really discern) are also engraved. Perhaps they were part of the design. Perhaps this was done not on a coin but on a round planchet.
Anyway, more / better photos could help.
