How old are the British coins it was inherited with? I am guessing more modern due to the 3-D shape of the Star of David.

Given the crudeness and thinness of the lines, I think its an Indian head penny turned "hobo nickel". It looks like a very faint Indian on the side of the horse with the Indian's eye above and slightly forward of the bridle ring. Possibly the remnants of a date 90 degrees to the left of the bottom of the horses neck....... on another note it was clearly made by someone with far better windows paint skills than my own.
