No readable legend, but there are coins like this form Teos, e.g.:

However, the hind legs of the assumed lion's body look more like tail on your coin. But the head does not look like that of a hippocamp.

It might be SNG Copenhagen 1489. I think this is a scarce variety. Can you see any letters on the reverse of your coin? I might see the "I" to the right of the grape bunch.
