I also see a German Rentenpfennig and a Jamaican penny. Both are common dates/mint marks and don't have much value (I see them all the time in...
Excellent photos! I concur that this is probably a Fantasy Piece (ie; a modern coin made to look archaic, possibly as a token for use in a board...
My guess would be that that is a cast copy. There have been many copies made of those coins for various purposes. Where did you find / purchase...
