And yet another one,
Horse and Rider on one side, Eagle + Concordia inscription on other, I think it is from Holland/Netherlands as some of their 16th century coins look similar but this is maybe 17th or 18th century?

Indeed the Netherlands: City of Deventer, a town in the province of Overijssel.
The eagle is the shield of the city.

It looks like a copper replica of a silver rider of 1690 (date above the shield)

On this Dutch forum a similar coin has been discussed: http://munthunter.nl/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10924
Your coin is a contemporary forgery of a 6 stuiver from Deventer. Yours bears the date 1690. Those forgeries where plated with a thin layer of silver. In many cases this layer was washed off very quick so you get a copper 6 stuiver instead of a silver one.

Ok, I guess bit disappointed, but well listed it on ebay now:) http://r.ebay.com/6cbG3R if anyone's interested it being a contemporary forgery it should be much rarer than the real coin even if it is not silver...

bart, thanks for the info!
