    S b n d *s l n d are the letters.
    The first means: sint bernard.
    These rings with the letters in it are typical for
    that period.
    Also no marking stemp.
    That means it's verre old.

    That first pic doesn't look like the ring is silver, but the cleaned one sure does. Nice finds. I see the other questions I would have had were already asked, but I wonder why half the coin is flattened.
