The inside looks like a dart placed along a folded sling and with a sort of attachment to the sling near the tail, but it's all very uncertain. And the outer sourrounding thong I don´t know what represents.

There might be some mileage in this after all. Now that we know what the coin is we could try and find a clearer example.
