Good afternoon all,
I have been pointed in this Direction by gacooke.
He mentioned I may be able to get a rough valuation of my coin from @elheron-grande.
I believe the coin to be one of these....

The Heron is somewhat familiar with coins that were issued starting
about 1500. The coin depicted appears to be somewhat older. Any
information where this coin was found? It appears to have been under-
ground for a few years. Was it found using a metal detector? The coin
does have the 'long cross' onnit. The long cross design was used to discourage people from clipping the edges of coins.
Note: There is another compadre of the Coin & Paper Money chat
board that is very good at identifying coins issued prior to year 1500.
Perhaps he will make an appearance and assist in the ID?

Hola Car-smasher, thanks for that informacion. The design of coin appears to be the designs used around year 1,000 to 1,400 (AD). Perhaps even later in medieval time period (Apparently now-a-days the historians or some of them have decided that 1492 is the 'end' of medieval times.
Perhaps the 'expert' will make an appearance to advise you! Regards.
