What Is This? Coin or Token? Something Else?

[DanPM94]

I don't know what this is, there is a design on one side but i cant see anything on the other side. I put a half dollar next to it so you can see the size of the unknown thing. Please reply if you know what it is or have any ideas what it is.

I found it in a old park in MA, it was where a outdoor hockey rink used to be.

very interesting. too big to be a button I would think, plus no sign of a shank ever being there. Plus, on the etched cross side, I see what look to be tiny rim denticles, common on what you would see on an old coin or jetton. I assume it's brass? If so, I would say a 1600s jetton is a strong possibility though normally these aren't bigger in diameter than a half dollar--- though some were (this is assuming the cross was etched in on the worn jetton)! Then again, could be some kind of old decorative broche type thing?
