Guess the mystery coin! [coin revealed in first post]

Here's a find from this summer (despite a very disappointing season, at least I've found something(!)
As I have so few finds to post, I'll need to max them out.. image


Here are some clues:

1) Great signal (01/29 on the Minelab Explorer)
2) Large coin. I got quite excited when I saw it!...
3)...but when I picked it up I was disappointed as it was very light. Still, it was definitely a coin I hadn't dug before
4) It's a European coin
5) Picture below

So... what is it?? image

Good guesses! Loditom is particularly close.

Here it is with other finds from that day (common 1900s coins).

Next to it is an iron coin, probably a 1950s Finnish 1 Markka.
One of these days I'll miraculously dig an iron coin in good condition.
Mostly there's just enough left of them to see that they've been coins - but that's it image
