Not sure but looks really early! (French is my WAG but I'll wait to find out!)

Can you make out any of the writing around the edge? I see something on the side with the "rays" but can't make out the characters (something like MAR at about 8 o'clock on the first pic)

I don't think it is a Cap & Rays Reale. Some of the rays on the relic coin are 'wavy'. It looks like a pattern of 1 wavy, 3 straight, 1 wavy...
