1547 silver?

I have a silver coin which I bought off of Ebay a couple of years ago. I have removed it from the holder and am perplexed that it is as thin as tin. Can anyone tell me what it is and what it grades? I should have kept better records.

It is 16mm in diameter.

I have one just like it but dated 1549.

It's from Hungary and is made of hammered silver and the denomination (I was told) is a Denor. It features the Madonna and Child on the one side. Not sure what the shield on the other side represents, though.

Maybe someone else can fill in the blanks.

The shield is the Hungarian coat of arms.

Thanks for the info. What is the value and can anyone help me with the grade?

Looks like it's in the XF to AU range, but with a rough planchet. Value is probably just under $20.

Thanks JamminJ. I think that is what I paid for it. -Dan
