Large coin 1635 Pics added ID???

[mpro1]

I am looking for some online resource to ID a large 1.265" coin I found today. The coin has green patina so I believe it to be copper. I can just make out a date looks to be 1635. The side opposite the date I can clearly see a small open winged eagle with starred shield center. The eagle position is center lower 1/3rd of the coin. Also some kind of hammer or axes either side of coin. There is a lot of lettering the perimeter but cant make it out.


If anyone knows of a good site for reference a coin of this age please advise. Coin found Long Island NY.

Thanks

A double-bladed fasces like the image on the reverse of a mercury dime (which is single bladed)?

If it weren't so old, I would guess some sort of peace medallion for trade with the Native Americans.

Maybe a 300th anniversary commemorative/medallion.

Similar but double-bladed. After a overnight in O.O. I can see a silhouette of an Indian facing right, and and an image of one of the forefathers facing left. Maybe a commemorative of some kind
