Hey everybody. I found what I believe to be an ancient coin. This was found in a VERY old area of the United States. Found next to a sizable gold nugget as well. I can't find anything about it online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All i know is it's made of lead (I think), and the Spanish had a history in the area, but I believe it to pre-date that. Also, found right next to a decently sized gold nugget

Turn it sideways and looks like a face with smile or mustache and a hat on.
 

Man, I'm shocked that there wasn't any guesses on the coin. It was actually my XLT that found both of those. I'm not too confident with it being a mining coin
 

I don't see any letters, words or numbers; possible token.
Don..........
Not very old either. More like a fantasy piece, than a real token that had an changeable value. Why someone/company made it, I'll let the researchers find out.
