New details on strange coin w/ pics - Please ID if possible

[TreasureHead]

It's hard to tell in the pics cause my camera isn't the best but it looks like the coin actually says "one penny saveth" so I'm thinking it may be older. The opposite side also says one penny but then something else that can't be make out... maybe starts with a "j"? the next letter looks like an "a".. There's a small elephant's head on both sides. It was found near Chicago, IL in a field at around 6-7 inches

Any information on the coins era, value, and where it might have come from is much appreciated.

Thanks & HH
