I would be looking in Hungary based on the design. (Maybe you already have).
Edit: Hmmm... some of the quadrants in the shield are not in the correct place (the patriarchal cross and the horizontal bars). Maybe an imitation of a Hungarian type?
it looks like the design on my transilvania coin under hungary rule but bigger maybe that will help it definentaly has the hungarian crest on the back and a seated madonna on the the obverse or maybe its the other way around anyways i believe that its ca. 1610-1640 but it might go out of that range of years
edit it would also be under billon a low percentage silver metal with a majority of copper

Dude! Buy yourself a keyboard with punctuation keys that work.

I do have them but I don't type with them because it takes longer and I'm not one who can just sit around all the time sometimes I need to make things quick. lol
Quote: "tdziemia"Good idea to check Transylvania / Siebenburgen. With a quick search I could not find an issue with the patriarchal cross at upper left in the shield.
Was there a nearby state that made coins imitating Hungarian coins?
I think the pictures might be inverted because you can clearly see that in the second picture the k looks backward however the coin is not completely upsidedown.
Your posts are mostly informative but also very annoying and for non-native English language speaking members maybe difficult to understand at times. I tend to skip over them which I'm sure is not what you want. You do yourself a disservice by writing in train of thought.
Thank you very much for your messages. The coin is exactly as it looks in the pictures. It is reversed from all the coins I have seen. It may be medieval, from Hungary's Matthias Corvinus. It seems strange to me that it is inverted and it is made of copper, not silver..

If you want to help people, take the time to prepare something useful. The time for one person to type punctuation is much smaller than the time wasted by many readers trying to parse something cryptic without punctuation. (Especially, as was noted, for people where English is not the first language.)
if you don't want to help people, don't bother replying.
I think this coin is a forgery of weak silver. Mathias Corvino ?. At that time, the Hungarians did not understate silver in denarii. A forgery from the era. Of course, the Hungarian denar. KP- Kremnitz. Mirror image of the coat of arms shield. The cross should be on the right. Also mirror image on the reverse - Madonna is holding Jesus, Jesus should be on Mary's left hand. Here it is the opposite. KB is also the other way around.
