Unknown Silver

I found this coin in a lot of uncleaned ancients. It was completely covered both sides with some thick hard white material. I have taken a long time to prep it. It appears to be silver all the way through. No pattern at all. Then what looks like the number 2 shows up. Any ideas would be very helpful.

Looks a lot like a Hungary 2 filler, but it wouldn't be silver...

 

Probably an Austro-Hungarian 2 Filler ca. 1916-1918, not silver but iron, check it out here: https://numizmarket.hu/en/main-page/hungary/austro-hungarian-korona-1892-1925/details/145/11237

 

I think that is it. I wonder how it got in a lot of ancients.

 

The metal detectorist probably found it in the general area of the Empire.

 

see the work over the "2"? I'm thinking

but it does look to be iron, so probably a wartime issue

 

It´s a 2 filler coin from Hungary, probably made of iron or zinc.
It´s not ancient, these were coined from the ending of XIX century up to mid-XX century if I recall correctly.

 

Thanks everyone. I don't think I will put anymore labor into cleaning it.

 

yes, zinc makes more sense, since it had a thick white deposit on it.

 

I think I can see a B under FILLER, which would make it Budapest rather than Kremnitz as a mint so likely a later emission than WW1.
