Hi Young,

This one may be a bit of a reach, but I am basing this attribution on all of your other coins being from Sicily or the Regno.  Your coin is a denier tournois, this is for sure. There was a denier tournois minted for Nicolas II of Monforte for his fief of Campobasso.  This coin would have been minted at Campobasso from 1459-1463.  The obverse features a chattel between two rosettes or annulets with the legend  :plus:NICOLA COMI.  The reverse features a cross and the legend  :plus:CAMPIBASSI.   As I said, this is a hesitant attribution, as I cannot make out the legends from your photos.  Reference is MEC14 #938-941.

Cheers,

David
