Broken hammered silver

Probably Hungarian or from some other country of that region.

On this side I think I can see a part of a figure wearing a robe and holding cane. To the left I think I can see text “*AVSH”.

The second picture can be St. Ladislaus, which is a common image on lot of late medieval Hungarian coins:

It is very likely, especially I already got same coin from that LOT. However, the one that I have I smaller.

I agree it looks like a figure of a standing saint, as on many medieval silver types.

 

Many possibilities, maybe in this case not from Hungary but from some place nearby. For instance, Ragusa had St. Blasius.

Yeah, I wanted to write that it reminded me of Ragusan coins.

Also, popes names often end in IVS (Gregorius, Innocentius, Pius), often followed by P or PP.  And they are shown in bishop's robes.

Though this gets farther (geographically) from the other coins in the lot.
