hi i have recently found this coin metal detecting if anyone could tell me what coin it is it would be very greatly appreciated, i am looking to straighten the hammered coin regards
Trying to straighten it is probably a very bad idea. Old coins like that, especially after having been in the ground, can often become quite brittle. If you try to straighten it, there's a very high chance you'll just break it.
The letters are very hard to read from the photos. I can make out the usual "civitas," meaning "city," on the reverse, but not much else. I second the concerns of @physics-fan3.14 in straightening the coin. That's a risky operation that just may make things worse. If you must go that direction, seek out someone who has decent experience with unbending medieval-aged metal.
I'm not too familiar with this area of knowledge, but I found this useful: https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=10629
It's an Edward penny. Can't really tell if it's Edward I, II, or III from the pictures. There's very little difference among them. Don't try to unbend it. 700 year old silver will not respond kindly.

This is at least the second thread on this one. In a prior thread myself and others said that the words were not legible enough to know exactly what it was. I can only make out "civitas." The words are no clearer now than they were then. If you can get a better or closer shot of the portrait side, that might help. But yes, it is likely an Edward Penny.
Not entirely sure why you posted a second thread about the same coin..... You didn't like the answers you got on the first one?
