I hope these pictures come through ok. The obverse has a man with a crown and goatee on it and I can only make out a few letters. It looks like GRA? is above and to the right of the crown and ATOR? is to the right of the face. The reverse has a wreath and maybe a small crown at the top. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

its a silver Canadain dime -- with the English king on its front --the" de grata" --is a latin term -- (basically king by the grace of god)

Thanks for the speedy reply, it is not a dime, but you led me in the right direction and I am now able to ID it. Seems like it is a Canadian 50 cent piece from 1902-1910.

sorry it looked small that's why I thought dime .. the general design for dime , quarter and half are very close..

Good lesson here: When posting objects, it is wise to also post an object next to it that will show the scale of the first item.
Ivan, no need to be 'sorry', the OP didn't offer you anything to scale the item; and similar image items come in various denominations.
