Indeed confusing.
Danish arms/shield on one side, but Swedish royal monogram on the other.
Denmark (or Denmark-Norway) and Sweden were at war in the late 1650s with Christian X on the Swedish throne. In 1660, Charles X died and was succeeded by Charles XI, and the Treaty of Copenhagen was signed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treat...hagen_(1660). Maybe this explains the aspirational combination of insignia from the two nations?
I cannot find this coin in Numista, nor in the NGC and CoinArchives databases.
If nobody here is succesful in answering your question, maybe you can take the coin to Emporium Hamburg for help.
