Thanks. I looked that coin up and didn't see any that matched. But some of the older Turkish coins looked similar. It gives me something to look at.

I think it's much older. But I've been trying to get it identified for years.

Interesting coin. Possible old English ship wreck or pirate ship wreck. Could be why the coin was on that beach, it was transported from its original ship to a pirate ship That crashed on our shore. Old world coin for sure, cross on back might have been to assist folks in cutting it into pieces. You’ll need an old world coin expert. Good luck, cool find.
