On the upper picture, could the word at 1 to 3 o'clock be MĘDIRA, an alternative spelling for MADEIRA? Perhaps MĘDINA somebody's surname?

I don't believe the button theory. Buttons don't have a design on both sides.

Old ones do. It's called a "backmark", indicating the place of manufacture.

I thought "button" when I first saw it, but it's purely a guess.

Sorry I've been working a lot lately but just saw all of the replies. I really appreciate all the effort on trying to identify this thing. If it's a button than so be it. All I know is I have no idea and you all have given great help. Thanks!

When I get my hands on the coin one more time I'll Try to get some better shots. I understand it is worn and dirty so that makes it harder to distinguish between other coins and buttons. After that I might give up and leave it to my Mom and her set idea that it is a great missing coin.
