Any help is very appreciated and welcome.

Welcome!

Unfortunately I cant see many details on this picture of your coin, but its still good enough to identify the mint. This coin was struck in GRAZ capital of Styria.

The three coats of arms on the reverse side oft the coin are:
Double headed eagle: stands for the Holy Roman Empire
The second one is Burgund
Panther (looks similar to the lion of Bohemia): Duchy of Styria (in german: Herzogtum Steiermark)

Ferdinand II. was duke of Styria from 1590-1637 and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1619 -1637.

I have the information from “Ludwig Herinek Österreichische Münzprägungen 1592-1657”,
In this book your coin has the number 1079b.

Greetings, Takagi.
