The imagery of a saint (or other nimbate figure) holding a cross and bible is similar to representations on Byzantine coins (and their imitators like Venice, Sicily and Balkans), but this would be a rather thick silver item for its time at only 15 mm but 2.37 g.. IHS (letters in Jesus' name) also appears at the beginning of inscriptions on Byzantine copper coins.

Sorry, not much help.
It's a great clue for me, thanks a lot for the help 👍
