: I couldn't find too much information on it, but it's a medal and not a coin. It was struck in honor of the de Wit (or de Witt) cousins who were extremely influential Dutch religious and political leaders during the 17th century. They were assassinated in 1672 during a period of unrest.

: The names on the medal are in old Latin script; in modern usage they'd be Johan(n) and Cornelis (or Cornelius).

: The link below is to a page that was machine-translated from the original Dutch. The wording is a bit shaky but it gives some additional details. Given that the medal could be (a) old and made of silver or (b) a not very old copy, it would be best to take it to an antique dealer or appraiser who handles medals and such.
