Size?  Weight?  Metal?  Can you get sharper pictures from directly above?  We need more information if we are to be of help.

Looks like a button, or something, not a coin!

Sometimes coins were made into weights and were marked in similar ways.  You're not likely to get any additional ID for it.

I recall reading in some book (not sure which) that many specimens previously identified as gaming pieces are more likely weights.

That would be interesting.  It might be the case with metal but I think the bone items are more likely gaming pieces.  This one, though metal, simply reminded me a bit of the bone ones.  But maybe that is a false comparison.
