NEED HELP IDENTIFYING THIS COIN

A guy just came into my shop with quite a bit of darkside material. I was able to identify most of it, but this one has me stumped. I know some of you guys can identify it in a nanosecond, so I told him I would let him know what it was within the hour. image

    Dan, can you transcribe any of the legends for us?

    I'm stuck at work without any reference material, but my instinct (wild guess) is one of the Swiss cantons, maybe.

    I had though about the Swiss Cantons because of the cross on the shield, but wasn't able to find anything that looked like it in my Seventeenth Century Krause. The best I can do on the legends is "CONCORDIARES PARVAE CRESCVNT".

    How often do you see a newbie pop in and ID a mystery coin on his first post? (Edit: not so much a newbie, perhaps, as a long-silent lurker?)

    I knew the CORNCOBI- uh, CORNHOL- uh, CONCORDIA bit was familiar from somewhere.

    Yes, i've been lurking. I'd thought there was a post or two in there some time, but I guess not.

    Thanks for the welcome
