Ive got here an medieval european silver coin
The obverse has a shield with an cross overlayed and very little text i can rean 18*HON*H??*?OB*
The reverse has a crown in a ring and maybe a face or something very hard to interpet
The text is practically unreadble for me

Pictures cropped …
That second cropped pictures looks like a man standing.
As on this different coin, though there is a cross the other side …

I was thinking it is inverted, and we have a crown above something? (Edit: Crowned letter “h”? And I think I can see second half of legend on that side ending in R--GIS, or n--GIS))
The shield with a cross should enable us to identify it.

Ive tried looking through numista based on the search shield cross and didnt find any good examples atleast back then

Even though looks like HON it could be MON on top right -
and maybe top left is 78 numbers, for 1578 year.
Also it looks a little like coins of the Livonian Order. Perhaps.

If it is MON then may be REV on lower right.
Moneta (Nova) Revaliensis
Not sure what is in lower right yet.

Could also be a crowned K. Many more rulers named Charles (Karolus), including Charles V Holy Roman Emperor.

Sorry, I missed some of the preceding comments. Yes, I also thought MON …
And I agree that Baltic area is a good possibility. By time I get home from work, I think it will be solved 🙂
