Hi,
Could anyone help me to identify this coin? Probably in bronze. Weight 0.70 gram. Diameter 13-14 mm.

My first guess and where I would begin to look is German States, low grade billon or bronze, perhaps 16th or 17th century.

An interesting and absorbing challenge, if you want to take it up.

My first thought was Papal States, but I really don't know anything about coins of this period. It kind of looks like a date around 2:00 o'clock in the first pic, containing a '5'.

I can't place it, but the coat of arms does sort of resemble that of the Kingdom of Aragon, like those below. But I cannot find a match...

Perhaps Sicilia?
For several years Sicilia was part of the kingdom of Aragon...
their coins have the four blood bars of Aragon on one side and an eagle on the other side...
