I see some English lettering on it. Probably foreign, and looks to be very old.

No idea if the pic is even upright

Tough to say. I definitely see some English letters, but not enough to concretely ID the coin/token. I think I see a date, I attached a picture and outlined it. Almost looks like 1841 or 1847......beneath a crown (perhaps)?

SOMEHOW I think I managed to ID this.

1847 Apothecary weight.

One Drachm - W & T. Avery Registered March 1847, Apothecary's Weight

Killer find

EDIT: the one pictured seems to be a little different from yours. I see a "J" on the back above the 3, which I don't see in the linked photos. I assume there were various makers of these...

Grasshopper, I think you got it! This one is 14.22mm compared to the one you found at 18 mm. Could just be excessive wear and rot. Thank you!
