It could be a Spanish Maravedi (copper).

True

Are you willing to take it out of the plastic and take more pics?

 

[DCMatt]

Possibly a coin weight. Not an actual coin.

Without significantly better pictures, it is unlikely that anyone here can identify it.

It isn't like it is sealed in an air tight container. Just unbend a staple, slip it out, and take a few pics in the sun light on a dark background.

Then you can at least get a likely date range.

BTW - Where is Grandpa's? US? UK? Location might help with the ID.

Needs taking out of the holder and a better picture, and possibly weighing, for people to give you better help with the ID. Just my thoughts on it. Hutch.

OK, thanks for being clear. I thought you received it from Grandpa.

 

[coincollector13948]

Your welcome

I might have an ID soon, I sent a pic of the coin to someone who IDs coins on another site.

It may be a 1/2 tanka from India, minted in the 1500s. If so, it is worth only a few dollars.
