Copper Coin For Identification

I don't know if I'll be able to convince everyone of what I think this is.

In the obverse legend, we can make out the letters I'm followed by what I think is a P. The abbreviation IMP is for Imperator, so this coin is in the name of an emperor. France only had kings.
Preceding and separated from the I is a V. Assuming the V stands alone, and is not the last letter of an abbreviated empire (though no such empire's name comes to mind), there is one copper coin with a legend that fits, CARO (or CA, or KAROL) D G V IMP HISP REX: the korte (or courte), of the Spanish Netherlands, one of the earliest copper coinages of Europe (starting in 1543), minted only by the Spanish monarch Charles V. The reverse of the korte is quite distinctive, and I believe we can see the twining forked tail of the rampant lion, and the twisted-rope styled border:

Phil, I agree.
But Napoleon called himself emperor:

If the mintmark should be visible:

I am convinced.
Almost
This 'Almost' is caused by the following maybe minor observations:
From all the corresponding coin images, which I found online so far
- I can't exactly match the form of the tail with my coin. It looks as if its lion has an extra 5th paw
- The crown of my coin is less sharp than on the online images
- The size of online coins reported to be 19-20 mm while my coin has 17 mm diameter.

Still, there is too many other matching attributes which make me believing that this attribution is right.

As a side note, I think I can distinguish 'REX' in inscription so it leaves us with the following sub-types
198.1 Brabant (Antwerp): hand CA(ROLVS)-D-G-V-IMP-HISP-REX
198.2b idem: star CA-D-G-V-IMP-HIS-REX dates 1548-1553, 1555
198.3b idem: cross CA-D-G-V-IMP-HISP-REX dates 1550 and 1555
198.4b idem: lily CA-D-G-V-ROM-IMP-HIS(P)-REX dates 1541-1545, 1547-1553.
