Hammered Cob identification antique find

[thebmasur]

I did not dig this coin so I’m not sure if it belongs here mods please remove if it doesn’t. I found this coin in a huge box of old coins at an antique shop today. Any coin you want for $5. I’m hoping someone could identify it. I’m not well versed in hammered coins so I’m not sure what origin it stems from or its age. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
