Bottom picture looks like a bearded, crowned figure.

Top pic is a cross often seen on colonial Spanish coins. I can't really make out any lettering.

EDIT: After some Googling I see a resemblance to a hammered English silver farthing like these:

If you dug that in America I doubt that's what it is, as those coins in the pic were made by King Henry III from 1247-1272.

I think this is looking close --

European coins pre 1800

William I, the Conqueror, AD 1066-1087, AR Penny, 20 mm. (3.27 g)
Obv: PILLEMVS REX, crowned facing bust.
Rev:B(orR)IHTPO ON CANTL, central cross with four annulets with letters PAXS (Peace). Canterbury moneyer Brihtwold

That's exactly what it is, and if it's real worth quite a bit of money.

The hole does devalue the coin, but that's still a scares coin and would fetch a fair price. providing the coin is real, it's hard to from the pictures.
