@3dl, first welcome to CCF. Second, I have moved your thread here so that we can get some good eyes on it. Once we determine if it is from before or after 1600 AD, we will move the thread again to the correct subforum. In the meanwhile, can you please post the weight and diameter of this coin? Thx.

If you rotate your top photo 180 degrees, the letters in the quadrants might be e n r i, as on this cruzado minted in the SPanish kingdom of Castile & Leon under king Henry II:

It was produced in several mints with some slight differences.

1, I suggest the moderators move this to the Ancient & Medieval forum. Pretty confident that what we can see puts this before 1600.

2. While the reverse design is a good match for a cruzado of Enrique II of Castile & Leon, I am a bit troubled that the portrait obv seems to have a beard and quite prominent ear, which do not match the examples of this type I can see in numista. The legends are so worn that it is hard to see what is in them.
