Well hello CD. Love seeing your moniker pop up 
Those darn things are so infuriating to me, cause I think a lot of them are older than they are often recorded as. The one you have looks cast so I believe it’ll be pre 1700. The medieval ones are only recognised as such when they have the V shaped profile on the outer or inner edge, or with file marks.
The PAS guide on rings includes these and is worth a read. You can access it here https://finds.org.uk/counties/findsreco ... des/rings/

Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking

The patina looks to have some good age to it. Not sure of it's use but clearly some outer wear. 
Good things come to those who wait.
