Can anyone help identify this coin I have. I have done research and I cannot find anything, which leads me to believe this could be a fake. It is a 1779 coin it is 41mm in diameter and is 3mm thick. It weighs 30 grams.

It is not a coin, it has no value on it (essential for a coin) - so it is some sort of medallion or token.

Interesting !
We find an evocation of this medal in a print featuring works by Giambattista Piranesi :
Dimostrazione dell'Emissario del Lago Fucino
Deo patriae ac (et) bonis artibus.

Not all coins have a value on them but this is not one of them.
