France...I'll look to be sure.
Franc a Cheval of John the Good 1350-64
It might be a French Franc à cheval of King John II.
I can see "IOH" on the obverse top right. (for IOHANNES or John).

You can check out the value on the Internet. It looks like your coin was bent at one time.
France.
Look about 2/3rds the way down this page:

Be cautious - it seems likely to me that this coin has had its edges worked on to make it more round.
I am 95% certain that it is more valuable in this jewelry format than it would be with the holder removed. I know my wife would be very pleased to own it.
Thank you very much. Yes I believe it has an internal cambur and it has some damage from the prongs on the bezel as well.
