🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Old coin/button/???

I found this in the woods at old 1800s house site
It rang up around 25-26 on the equinox 800
Not sure if it’s old silver but it feels like it
It’s 12.4mm wide

It looks like a beat-to-death three cent piece. You can sort of see the design in your second photo.

Counter stamped?
Though it looks like it had 2 opposing lugs/attachment points on the on side.
Very cool recovery, liking the different ones. Congrats 👏

Unless it's been ground down, it's too small a diameter to be a U.S. silver coin.

I never thought of that!
Maybe a worn down foreign coin that was counter marked or punched

Thanks

In the back of my mind I can picture a silver with a big 1 on it. But can't retrieve what country. All my world coin books are in storage. European for sure I'm thinking.
Looks thick, or is that just the lighting?

Just the lighting
It’s worn dime thickness but smaller then a half Reale
