What is on the other side?

Unreadable - maybe when cleaned it will show some detail.

Maybe an older Asian coin, Thailand? Thai Baht is my guess...maybe Google old Asian coins and see what pops up...I tried but couldn't get anything close enough...

Russian?

Thanks all. Will research the Russian and Asian angles - we've done Italian and French before in same area before. Good luck to you!

Maybe @Mackaydon can give you an ID on the coin.
I gave up on the AI as it insisted on a left facing Roman-hallucinating issues.

Is this storm working out for you? I just checked the remote live cam at my fav beach and it appears a thick blanket of new sand has arrived with the rough surf. Same story all last winter. And I’m 13 rings over the number I found last year. 🥲 with 6 months to go. Looks like you’re killin it. 👍

Not Napoleon. Makes sense that it came from an area with Italian coins because it is indeed one itself. I recognized the Vittorio.

A very interesting coin. I love reading everyone's ideas. Hopefully you'll be able to zero in on an ID. Congrats!
