    Can't tell much from the photos, but in the top photo, if you rotate it to the right 90 degrees, I think the main design is a shield. The top right quadrant of the shield may be a lion? If you can figure out what is on the shield, that would probably at least tell you what country this is from.

    I think Parthicus is right about turning it - think it may be a clipped one of these:

    Obv.: FERDINAND· D·G·R· VNG· 1554·, Coat of arms

    What's the size?
