Buenos dias,

I am not sure of your coin's diameter, but I see the helmeted arms of the House of Savoy; so this coin looks like yours to me: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces48484.html

Value in this condition is maybe a few euros.

Perhaps a rider, but it can be the ruler with scepter, like this:

Savoy looks correct:

It is definitivly a rider
With the colors inverted, some details are better visible

white: shield and spear
green: front horse legs
red: perhaps mintmark

At first glance doesn't click as something very Savoia-ish to me...
I'd look further north in the German states, Brunswick liked it's horses, may be a possibility.
That being said, I'll see if I can find it.
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!

Hello,
The orientation of the second picture isn't good :


It looks like a quattrino to me, but I can't figure out the issuer.

​Perhaps something Papal? The figure looks rather Pope-y (for lack of a better adjective :D) to me.

Or if the arms aren't Savoyard, perhaps Genoese? This looks similar:
