Hey, we found a coin in Ghent. Parameters: 2.71 g, 18 mm diameter, non-magnetic. Is it something interesting?

 

 Looks like it was a pendant, before the loop at the top broke …

  So being a pendant, it shows a copy of a coin -

Does it have value for now? Can it be sold?

Sorry, it's only worth silver bullion value. A little more if it hadn't been driven over by a plow a few dozen times.
