It looks like an Antonio Priuli Zecchino https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces110026.html
The fields look very strange and design off compared to the link above.
Can you weigh it to two decimal points.
Thanks John Conduitt for responding.
Dear Greenstang, The coin is gold and weighed 3.32 gram.
The coin looks similar to Venice ZECCHINI coin but not the same according to this link:

Well, there's quite a good chance it is a counterfeit as the legends are the same but a little blundered.
There are a lot of contemporary imitations of Venice Zecchini. Mostly from the Levant and (southern) India.
Chios imitation of an Antonio Venier
