Hi all, can anyone help me to identify this coin? Its about the size of a british 2p coin. I believe I can see a strange right facing head on the obverse with curly hair. Inscription seems to start with a C then perhaps an A. Reverse design is clearer; I can see a D...EV:CO and an AVST[/F?] with a VI in a loop at the base. Any help much appreciated.

6 Kreuzer of Austria, from the 1800's, not clear enough to identify monarch/date from those pics.

I have made a mistake in the writing:
CAROLUS VI.D.G.R.I.S.A.G.H.H.B.R
and not H.A.B.R
The correct tekst translates :
CAROLUS VI DEI GRATIA ROMANORUM IMPERATOR SEMPER AUGUSTUS GERMANIAE HISPANIAE HUNGARIAE BOHEMIAE REX
Charles the sixt, by the grace of God, emperor of the holy roman empire for ever, king of Germany, Hungary, Spain and Bohemia.
He declared himself king of Spain.
