That's an odd one. Looks like someone has been practicing Hall Marks on it.  There seems to be something around the edge to suggest it was a coin.

Nice unusual find. Silver is silver whatever.

Probably a William III shilling. They often turn up like this, sometimes in preparation for making into a love token.
