    2 things…maybe…. Maybe an Italian city-state, just a guess. The design on the upper left of the right-hand (reverse?) has church hat, maybe Vatican?

    And the left side (obverse?) looks to have been clipped many times…maybe silver used to pay for a bed or food more than a few times.

    Just guesses, really…but those are what I came up with…Spark

    It looks like a clipped down coin, possibly from Liege. The portrait looks a lot like that of Maximillian Heinrich, 1650-1688.

    Thank you for the leads. I will check online and see what I can find. Reverse image search usually gets me close when I don’t know where to look but, as observed, this one appears clipped and it is, therefore, hard to search a match.

    I think you have a coin of Olmutz Bishopric an Austrian State issued by Karl II von Liechtenstein -Castelcorn 1664-1695.It is hard to attribute due to the clipping. There are also a lot of varieties. You might be able to match it up if you place it over actual size illustrations in KM17th century catalog Hope this helps good luck.
