What is the diameter? Pictures cropped
Guessing the denomination will be 1/24 Thaler or 3 Polker.
Reverse: MON NO REG SVE
Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

It is 1 ½ groschen. 3 polker.
But coin is not Polish. MON NO REG SVE
Swedes did not like Sigismund.
One of the suspects. N#96582
Edit: Other ruler. GUS something

I think it's Gustavus Adolphus instead: N#63488
The start of the obverse text is GVS ADO.

The last letter of the date is worn, but it should be between 1630 and 1635. Maybe it's 1633?
