Default the 1285 coin

i feel very honoured to have recovered this coin.Its small and thin and for its age in good condition.heres the reply i got back from the museum.
Dear Mr Smith,

This is a sterling or 'crockard' of the Duchy of Brabant (now in Belgium)
struck for Duke John I (1261-94) or John II (1294-1312) between the 1280s
and c.1300. Crockards circulated in England in large numbers until they
were effectively eliminated by a recoinage in 1299-1300.
