    Not to sound like a jerk here, but were these photos taken by a potato?

    Neither - a medieval European coin. With better pictures, we might be able to tell you more.

    Sorry, with that blurriness I don't think any of us can identify whats on the coin let alone the wording.

    If you were considering buying this, I would ask for clearer pics. For all you know, it could be a button.

    It really looks like button, but i have seen silver pennies from about 500ad with a cross like this one. English or german.

    Agreed. The weird thing to my eyes is the reverse. If it hadn't been a cross on the front, I would have thought it was an Islamic coin.

    It looks like Anglo-Gallic Denier to me.
    But chances are it is truly a button!:devil:

    Sorry, I cannot tell the price from this photo, nor can I give the precise identification.
    Ask for a clear photo.

    Yes, these deniers are made of silver. Their values are from dozens of dollars to several hundreds of dollars according to their types and condition.
    Hope this will help:
