Strange "coin" from the beach

[Jiminsandiego]

Found this at a beach in So Cal along with a walking liberty half dollar , 4 silver dimes (2 mercury) and a St christopher pendant. For all I know it could be from Disnyland.
Thanks,
Jim

Silver? Aluminum? Looks like written in latin.

This coin is a replica I'm sad to say. These coins were made of copper (yours is not) until the period of 1684-1693 when it was made of tin with a copper plug in the center to prevent counterfeiting. The tin would corrode quickly, so they went back to copper in 1694. If it were the tin variety, you would be able to see a copper area in the center surrounded by the remains of a heavily corroded coin from the salt water. Sounds like the other coins were good finds though.
