    I found this coin and I can't find any info about it. It's 22mm in diameter. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks in advance for any responses.

    Definitely not Russian and not even Austrian - I am thinking Dalmatia or possibly Wallachia - the latter only because of the "Vall" in the inscription.

    Hmm, looks somewhat similar to this one. And that is apparently from Sitten/Sion, Switzerland ...

    Thank you Scottishmoney and Chrisild for the responses. Definitely, 1721 Swiss 1/2 Batzen. It has the "21" marked on both sides of the shield, but I did not realize that stands for 1721.
