If you prefer, and by all means, take it to a dealer who specializes in medieval coins. A regular US dealer really won't be able to help usually. Find a larger coin show and take it in person to someone. Btw the orientation of the two holes are also telling as to its use. While two holes were put into coins to wear as jewelry in antiquity in the east, (one hole in the west), it was never like this.
