Anyone Know What This Coin Is

Welcome to CCF!

Diameter? Weight? Looks like Haile Selassie from Ethiopia.

20th or late 19th century Ethiopian. Not ancient.

I don't remember enough Ethiopian to tell you the specific date... and looking it up online I can't figure it out anyway, the digits don't match.
The lettering looks crude, but it's hard to tell if it's actually crude or is just a blur. Could be a counterfeit (contemporary or modern).

EDIT: a crude counterfeit of a Menelik II 1 gersh (1897-1928).

I'd agree, not a genuine coin. The writing is somewhat garbled; presumably it was made by someone who couldn't read Amharic. See the spurs at top and bottom? It was originally made as part of a larger object like a piece of jewellery. Someone has torn it apart in the hopes of "turning it back into a coin", but they were mistaken, this particular object never was a coin to begin with. So all they've done is destroyed a historic piece of coin-like jewellery.

Such "coin-jewellery", using both genuine old coins and replica coins, is still common in the Red Sea areas of Eritrea and Somalia. This is also the same part of the world where Maria Theresa Thalers still see widespread use as both trade coins and as decoration. This old thread has an old thaler that has been turned into Red Sea jewellery; your "coin" probably originally looked something like that.
