Beach mystery find need help ! Coin , badge? Silver , pewter?

[DirtyDigger59]

Found this in the seaweed wash up area of the beach, with historic significance in the northeast. Resembles designs found on reales or other old coins although i am stumped and have no idea what this is. Rings up 54-60 on my AT max and as jewelry/coins on my minelab. There is some coral or sand build up on it and im scared to keep brushing it any help pn identifying or cleaning this piece will be greatly appreciated. I was able to reveal some silver color.

Pewter or Spelter.

Pewter or Spelter.

I believe now it is spelter after some research, possibly a badge or decorative broach / accessory of sorts.

I think you’re not far off with the brooch, or maybe a hat or coat badge. Sometimes the British crest had beaded crowns atop. Try starting there by googling “beaded British hat badge” or something similar.

 

[CRUSADER]

Not a cap badge or brooch as its 2 sided. The most likely is an early 1900's toy made of spelter.
