    Can someone help with this coin, maybe give me a KM number? It's about 16 mm.

    Pretty sure that is a solidus from Poland (Johann Casimir). Don't have the Krause book in front of me right now...

    I think Lithuania KM-50. It's listed under schilling, but solidus and schilling I think mean the same thing in Poland. On the obverse, it should have TLB or GFH under the portrait. There was listed a 1664 GFH and 1664 TLB/HKPL in my 17th century Krause.

    Found this in Numista: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces119356.html

    I believe KM50 is right. I think 1661 TLB. I think it's interesting that Krause gives a total mintage of 7,000 for 5 years of this type (with TLB) ... not many mintage figures from that era...
    So the Polish king on the obverse and a Lithuanian hero, Vytautas, on the reverse.
    Thanks guys!

    It is a copper solid of Lithuania. Very common coin. Price in Russia: about $2.
