Little chance of an accurate ID without some sort of scan; since 3/4 right isn't reliably distinguished from facing, your coin may be in among the results of this ISEGRIM search:

If you could read just a couple of the letters on the reverse, that would instantly narrow it down for you --

I can see the remains of a couple of letters but can't make them out.  I'll try again in the am.

Thanks again.
