The same coin with two different light directions. I can read A VILA on one side and that's all.

w 4.61 d 24.65 t 1.28 alloy bronze or copper

Thanks for you help

This looks the most promising: N#16260

 

France - Louis XIV - 6 Deniers - 1710-1712

 

The mint mark in the middle appears to be either the H or N.  I'm leaning towards N.
 

The weight and diameter are off, but the design is spot on.

Thanks a lot. Mine is very used measurements are certainly not very much corresponding.

What of the fact that the design is off center in the mystery coin and very much in the center in the suggested solution?

My fault. The orientation wasn't clear to me. Sorry.
