Question Sanct Oswald Rex?

Can anybody give me a clue as to the country of origin and approximate date of this silver coin I just got? Legend reads "Sanct Oswald Rex NVM(?)VS RGEN 3 .. STVFER", and the reverse looks like "GVIL*CO*D*MON*Z*DNS*D*BIL*HE*BOX*HO*Z*WIS" and depicts a lion rampant bearing a shield with another lion rampant.

Coin weighs 28,5 g and is 42 mm in diameter. Google tells me that "Sankt Oswald" is the name of some resorts in Bavaria and Austria, whereas there are only 2 "Saint Oswald"s, both British, but only one of which was a king (of Northumbria ca. 660). Somehow, none of this seems to add up.

Will be grateful for any advice.
