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
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 >

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

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.
Great Thank you for helping:) Again👍
