This weighs 2.0 grams and has a diameter of 20 millimeters.

On one side you can see a crowned lion, and possibly the letter V to the left in the clipped area.

On the other side I see a number of castles and in the lower left what looks like a cross on the letter A.

Spain, 1 Maravedi.

Bronze coin appears to have been acid cleaned.

A Lion and Castle were a popular design on Spanish Maravedis coins. This link will show your several from which you may be able to identify your coin:-
