I am trying to get help figuring out what this coin is it. Looks like some of the kreuzer coin cob of that time 1600-1700's but they had 4 shields instead of 3

Hello and welcome to Numista!

 

You forgot to post weight and diameter.  

Compare to this from Saxony.  N#143109

@Geison Beat me by a minute.

That was fast! Il post picture of weight in a couple mins. Though I am happy to finally be able to identify it! It seems my dates were off goes to figure as most of the coins from the latter date are those 3 kreuzer coins. We're 1600-1700's. Thank you for both your help and contributions! <3

 The weight might be off on my scale by .5 as I haven't got any weights to calibrate it at the moment more pictures to come. Weight on scale shows .59-.61 coin is holed

How can I use the search function for images as I believe it could be very useful in the future for me as a collector the info would be valuable to me. Thank you  for your time and energy.

Best to make sure the image is cropped like this:

Then just start with a simple image search:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=&st=1-2-3&cat=y&im1=67bd13f46e668.jpg&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&se=&c=&wi=&sw=

If nothing come up you can try the other image, limit years, composition, lettering, etc. I always start simple then get more specific.

How do I upvote lol I just hit the like button. That's an amazing feature!! I have been using apps, online books etc and could only find coins dated mid 1600-1700's. So I am super happy with site and the way it has been done. Thank you. And not all the coin reference apps are accurate let alone complete lots of coins they can't identify because they have no database on the coin. To find such a quick detailed explanation and reference image etc is <3 . 😃
