Hi I have been having issues identifying this coin.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps a little bit more contrast can help

I'am thinking it some France (feudal) Denice. Iam sure this one not right but France (feudal) Denice (1120-1240) PA#2657
It is, what it is, or is it.
I moved it up. iam just wanting to see how far off my guess is

Thanks for re doing the images a d for the suggestion. I am not convinced on it being French. It was found in close proximity to a few Viking artefacts. My thoughts are is it is from a country trading with them. I have sent images to a very knowledgeable numismatist who specialises in early medieval and he is not sure. After a lot of searching and research I can't find it. I found a broken hammered closely and that can't be identified either.
Please keep us updated.

​Hi I have been having issues identifying this coin.

Hello
It might help.
The emblem is similar to the fénnig or denar (Otto-adelhaid) ,, Otto I (23 November 912 – 7 May 973), traditionally known as Otto the Great (German: Otto der Große), was German king from 936 and Holy Roman Emperor from 962 until his death in 973. He was the oldest son of Henry I the Fowler and Matilda.
Otto inherited the Duchy of Saxony and the kingship of the Germans upon his father's death in 936. He continued his father's work of unifying all German tribes into a single kingdom and greatly expanded the king's powers at the expense of the aristocracy. Through strategic marriages and personal appointments, Otto installed members of his family in the kingdom's most important duchies. ,,

Yes, it is probably a denarius of similar species:

can this help?

Some british coins have similar cross with all kind of symbols (circles, stars, dots,....)

Thanks I will look up Otto and coins from that area. I thought the obverse was a design rather than a bust so that possibility has shocked me. If it is British it would of been identified, the Early Medieval Corpus have seen the coin and if it was a British coin they would know. I have seen a coin by Harald Hadrada which has some similarities. I am positive this coin has Viking links due to other items found in the area.
The bust is just a guess.
It can be something like this too:
Non est totum quod splendet ut aurum
Rijkdom bestaat niet uit het hebben van veel bezittingen, maar in het hebben van weinig behoeften
I looked at this coin of Harald Hadrada and it seems close. The reverse is very distinctive as it has roundels on the arms of the cross. I would of thought it would be easy to id just off the reverse. I am thinking it is either unique or extremely rare and very obscure.
Perhaps the weight and dimensions would help

The british king William I has coins with:
cross
circles
bust

Perhaps you can browse this site, or even contact them, then you can get a value too

If it is British it is unique. It was found in Britain but if that reverse was on any British coin it would of been identified. Images have been sent to a renowned expert on British coins at the national database for early medieval coinage. I am still convinced on a Scandinavian link.
I had a hint from Arie.
He says to look in Hungary....
