This one might indeed be impossible.

If the first photo were rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, we might have a bust, with legend A ---- REX?
Or, if it were rotated 45 degrees closckwise, maybe it is a crown with legend REX A ---- ?
Or, maybe that is not a letter A?

I cannot see an obvious design on the other side.

It looks like the same green patina as the last coin which was 17th c. Were they found together?

Agreed. although that didn't stop me from trying. I agree that the first image should be rotated CW by about 80 degrees. REX makes more sense to me than RFX. In the middle is a crown or perhaps a crest or cartouche of some sort with that letter H in the middle.
