I think it's a coin, but I could be wrong.

Found in Norway,. Looks like it's made of copper. Size : ca. 35mm Weight : ca. 18 g
 
Don't take this advise without someone smarter than myself (who knows more about cleaning coins) giving the "OK", but lay it on a sheet of wax paper, squirt white (Elmers) glue all over and leave it for a day to dry, and then put it in the freezer for a couple hours, then remove it & peel the glue away. It will remove a lot of the crusties. I've done this, but not on anything I thought may be of value.

Looks like you have enough writing on the left edge with the profile to
identify it. I would not put glue on it! Rinse with soap and water or maybe soak in room temperature hydrogen peroxide for a few days and brush with a toothbrush - it looks pretty toasted anyway. Where in Norway did you find it (u can PM me if u want)?
