You probably have an English 1 silver penny, Paxs type(or called the Paxs Penny) from 1083-86, under the Norman King William 1. There are many varieties and many mints producing this coin, so unless I(or another numismatist) closely examine your coin I wouldn't be able to tell you the correct value of it. Price for Very Fine grade with all the edge letters and cross visible starts from £400.

UPDATE:
It's a St Helena & Ascension 50 pence dated 1986(not 1086), issued to commemorate the Royal Wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson on July 23rd that year. This coin type has 3 versions. The most common version is made of copper-nickel alloy(has dull gray color), with a mintage of 13,000 and valued at US$4 in uncirculated condition. The other 2 versions are in precious metals and not commonly found. One of them is the sterling silver version, with a low mintage of 2,500 and has market value about $30 to $32. Another precious metal version is made of 0.917 fine gold, with a mintage of only 50 coins and valued at about $1,300 to $1,500. If your coin is the copper-nickel version, then I'd suggest that you keep it rather than sell, coz the most a coin dealer can pay you is about $2, and in my opinion it's not worth the effort and time. Furthermore, coins from St Helena & Asc are not easy to find, despite the low value. Else if your coin is the gold or silver version, then you can try to sell it to a coin dealer or collector. You might not be paid the price I quoted here, but at least you know what to expect.

If it's got the date 1086 on, then it's a fake.

Most larger cities have a t least one rare coin dealer, however, if you go about it by trying to "buy" one on-line you will get a pretty good idea.

Unless it is something rare and in fantastic condition, chances are it's not hugely valuable, but maybe you have found something special ...
