A Schüsselpfennig issued by Hanau-Münzenberg in 1605. Struck on one side of a very thin flan that deformed into something of a trough shape in the process. Tiny at around 11-13 mm in diameter. Silver in composition, fineness unknown. Actual weight is a minuscule 0.28 grams, which is nonetheless in excess of the 0.18 grams specified in Numista's listing for this issue.

Very nice coin! I assume from the lettering under the shoulder this is a restrike?

Yes, 925 is the modern silver content. I also doubt that this is an actual restrike since I doubt that they used the original dies to make this. Considering how rare this piece is even a copy is welcome space filler.

1542 1 Groschen, Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Lignica-Brzeg), Duke Friedrich II. Seller's photos for now.   I have been working on an OFEY collection for the Kingdom of Poland (1507-1795), but there are some gaps during which no Polish coins were issued, including 1541-1544. The Silesia region was historically Polish, and ruled by dukes who were memebers of Polish royal families until the early 1400s (and since 1945 is once again part of Poland). So that's about as close as I can get When Frederick assumed the throne in 1498, he was a vassal of the king of Bohemia, but from 1526 he was a vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor, which makes this coin sort of German.
