I got this coin at auction. It was in a cardboard holder and marked Sicily. However, I can't find any way of proving that. It's marked Carolus Imperator on one side. There is no date that I can see and the words on the reverse I cannot make out. The initials B and N are on either side of the eagle. The coin is about the size of a nickel. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the nice responses. I'll do what I can to add it to the database. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there.
