It's not a coin; it's probably a jewellery medal, given the stampings. The script is Cyrillic, so the language will be Russian or some other Slavic language.

#1034;#1045;#1043;#1054;#1064;, or "Njegoš", full name "Petar II Petrovi#263;-Njegoš" was a Serbian ruler and the national poet of Montenegro, 1813-1851. That's his name in the bottom of the obverse. I'm guessing that the rest is a quote of his in Serbian.

See the wikipedia article in English:

or Serbian:

Hmmmm. They don't let you type in Serbian Cyrillic here. Look in the serbian article to see the author's name. Sort of like "HELOW" but instead "#1034;#1045;#1043;#1054;#1064;"
