    Mangled coin or medal?

    Here is one that may just remain a mystery!
    Freshly dug today, it seems to have the letter "AR" or less likely "AB" and roman numerals on the other side? I found it on the side of a church.

    I'm dying to know what it is... or was.

    I'm looking at a few on line, I've never heard of one before. It would be used for textiles?
