Please help to identify this item 

I think this could it be a coin weight or a coin 

3.6g 

Have you got clearer photos, my hunch is that it’s a German state

 The background looks in focus so maybe the item is rather worn. 

 

 

 Either a coin weight, communion token, or from Sweden. Will have a look …

 A similar (second side) coin weight, with XS for 10 Shillings, 

so yours having XIS may be meaning 11 Shillings >

 Even more so thinking it is 11 Shillings as this (round) item 

N#75524 

has XXII for double that, at XXIIS for 22 Shillings.

 The 11 Shillings is known as a Double Crown - for Gold Angel coins.

 The first side of yours shows a bearded and crowned King facing 

right holding a sword over right shoulder. 

 At first it looked like ER for Edward Rex - but, then found this

so it is I R - BRI lettering. The I being J for James.

 That side view with a sword is on here

 So yes 10 Shillings is usually two / double Crowns, though for a while [starting 1612] there 

were 11 Shillings instead - as 22 Shillings made 1 Pound (a Gold Unite) denomination.

 Just to show what other weights looked like, here are 30 of them

 which on there the two pictures have a nice zoom feature on top right.

 A search found > 

'The weight of a James I 11 Shilling coin, with the inscription "I R BRI XI S", 

is approximately 4.82 grams. This type of coin is known as a "Double Crown XI Shillings" 

and is often found in the form of a square flan. 
Key details:
Denomination: 11 Shillings (Double Crown)
Monarch: James I
Inscription: "I R BRI XI S"
Typical Weight: 4.82 grams
Appearance: Square flan with a crowned bust on the obverse and "crown over XI S" on the reverse.'

 Still looking for a picture of both sides - other than these drawings 

https://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ceejays_site/pages/Coinweight1.htm 

 

 It looked like a sword but now most likely a sceptre, and holding an orb in other hand.

Guessing I R BRI - James Rex Britannia or similar.
