Hello, this is County Tirol, Austria, called Etschkreuzer, minted in Meran (actually Italy). The river in Meran is named Etsch, so the coin is named Etschkreuzer.

Ich have problems for determination of this coin, because I cannot read the legend completely by this weak condition, so the question is which ruler?

Thank you for your answer, i think that this coin wasn't strucked in tirol because the legend should be, in the eagle side, COMES TIROL
I've bought this coin as CREVACUORE mint (italy, Piemont) but the legends doesn't match perfecly, so I tought to a Swiss or Austrian minor mint....but not Tirol

In my opinion this is no SILVER coin, but an "ancient" forgery (only silvered). If the Producer can not read and write, he often uses "Trugschrift", only letters without meaning...

instaed of COMES TIROLIS for example CCNFS TIPCII§ or something like that. Most People in this time can not read, so the important Thing to identify coins as "good coins" was the Picture.
