Old Mayan coin?

Anyone could help identify this coin it was found in Guatemala.
Welcome to Numista!

Mayan civilisations didn't use coinage; the design on yours indicates (if it's authentic) that it's a Spanish colonial era issue.

Details like weight and diameter and metal (not to mention better pictures) would help further.

Whether or not it's real is a different question (it looks suspect to me)
Hello and welcome,
For me it's a modern replica : we don't see any lettering around on the first picture, I don't remember having seen this kind of wreath on those coins too and it doesn't look like silver.

Thank you for your replies.. I am definitely borrowing it down. A little background story my friends grandpa owned a land in Guatemala and indigenous people used to pay him in rings and coins like that. I have more pictures for your entertainment
