What coin is this? [解決]

Hi

I am asking for help at identifying this coin.  Diameter  19,7 mm, weight 0,68 g. On the other side coin is blank.

I added  better photos (on first photo should be set the other way around buy  in this position it is more readable).

 

 I thnink it is from XVII century (16_2)y, ½ pfennig , mayby from German. Ther are three shields (one with an eagle).

 

 

The shield with mountains makes me think of Wurzburg, but I could not find a coin of Wurzburg like this.

Maybe another German state also uses this motif?

Try Austrian empire. There was a time where they issue uniface coins with 3 shields, eagle, etc. and I see a few that are very similar. What is it's composition?

 

Edit. You got me curious so I kept searching. I found this that passes the similar test. With reorientation I think I even see the remnants of a date of 1682.

Thanks. I think this gets the OP at least in the ballpark. Half the fun here for me is learning while searching whether my particular interests or not.

I understand why the reverse is blank 😉

Great job, thank you very much.

I looked through several thousand coins (Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Silesia). The Czech  surprised me.
