@Jerzgirl614, first welcome to CCF. Second, that looks like a Groschen from Poland dated 1624 AD. Very nice coin!

Edit: Sorry but actually that looks more like a 6 Groschen--is it about 25 mm in diameter?

Spence thank you. The only info on this coin is "1624 Tollar" Yes it is about the size of a quarter. What is the value of such a coin?

Well, my Krause catalog is pretty old (1999), but it lists your coin at $7 in good condition. I guessing that it is probably worth about twice that now, but would defer to others here who may have a better idea of the value.

Indeed, Spence nailed it, a 1624 szóstak (6 groszy) of Poland, minted under Sigismund III Vasa. KM# is KM-42.

edit: a search of vcoins and ebay turned up several similar examples between $10 and $30. Yours is on the lower end of grade (VG-F American grading) so would be closer to the low end of the price range.
