Picked this one up today. Impossible for me to ID, an impossible challenge to the community?

Diameter 16mm, Thickness approx 0.2mm (estimate, very thin), Weight less than 1 gram.

ID-Needed---Small-Poorly-Struck-Silver-Coin

My guess is Western Europe, 16th-18th century, but that's all I know. Any help is appreciated!

There it is! A close examination also reveals the date, 1650. A five is clearly visible and I think I can make out a zero.

Thank you very much for your help
