s*u*o It is "scudo" (I'm also on the giant Christmas general knowledge crossword!!) ;-)
the Sou (alternate spelling 'sol') was an old French coin.
'Silfr' is how you say silver in Old Norse.
Depends on the coin. Some 2000 year old Celtic, Roman, Greek, etc. coins are quite valuable particularly in uncirculated condition or for coins minted in silver or gold. On the other hand, 2000 year old Roman bronze coins are worth a dollar or two (or less) in poor condition. Age does not equal rarity and rarity does not equal value. Without seeing the coin in person it is impossible to really say whether it is a common coin worth only a dollar or two or a coin worth a few thousand dollars.

The old French coin starting with the letter "E" is called the Écu. It was a silver coin used in France from the 13th to the 18th century.

No, because old gold coins didn't contain any silver.
Jewelers and coin dealers buy gold and silver.
No 1911 silver dollars were made, look at the coin again and post new question.
The Latin name for silver is argentum, which gave the metal its elemental symbol, Ag.
You should never polish a silver dollar or any old coin. Any standard silver polish you have at home will damage the coin's surface and reduce its value.
in order to tell for sure, you would need to take it to a coin specialist. most coins now are a mix of zinc and copper. if your coin truly is silver, it is probably very very old and worth a good amount of money.
