    The design resembles the 2 maravedis form Spain minted from 1598 through 1620. But it is not quite right either on the reverse or the obverse. I'll do some more looking - but that one has me stumped.
    knowledge ........ share it

    Interesting you should post one of THESE coins-- I had one just like it for years (much more worn though)and could not identify it. I finally
    ascertained/guessed it was a 1575-1621 or so copper coin of the Spanish Netherlands-- a lot of provences struck coppers during that period. I ended up selling it on ebay for about $12 or so.

    Coach,

    With direction from you, I found one of the legends "Dominus Mihi Adiutor" in a site online. It says the legend was used on Spanish Netherlands coins. Further online searching however, yielded nothing, but at least I've got a place to start.
