Wow! Not only is that a super portrait on the obverse, but there's probably a whole course (or book) worth of heraldry on the reverse.

I have a 1629 teston Struck by Henry II of Lorraine (I think testons were valued around 1/3 ecu)

Interesting that all three of those guys sported moustache and goatee, whereas Ferdinand (my 1630 coin) didn't.

First year of the Swedish occupation of Elbing, a 1628 1/24 thaler struck in the name of Gustav Adolph:

Mid-1620s means we will start seeing Polish coins with Sigismund III

But I will lead with another Lorraine teston for 1627:
