The coin is very worn and difficult to identify, but IMO if genuine, it appears to be an early French Denier (a.k.a. Silver Penny) vs. a Shekel.

The following is an example of an early Denier from William the Conquerer's Period:

Hope that helps! Best of Luck!

I don't think it is. Being silver the first think I though was Bar Kokhba. But I think it is more likely a medieval coinage.
