We know it's from Europe and has a monarch on the coin, it might be best to wait until we know the country for date questions.
Is the monarch depicted crowned?

Indeed the monarch depicted wears some pretty fancy head gear that could probably fund a few of our retirements.

Does the issuing country come from the current list of European countries that have German among their official languages? (The six countries that have German as their official language, in alphabetical order, are: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Switzerland.)

Nein. Recap: - Coins was not minted before 1500, but not after 1699 - Coin is from Europe, but not from a country which currently has German as an official language (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Switzerland - Coin depicts a monarch wearing a crown Currently 10/20.

Does the issuing country come from the current list of European countries that have polish-speaking majorities or large minorities (Nearly 97% of Poland's citizens declare Polish as their first language? Elsewhere, Poles constitute large minorities in Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine.)

When this coin was made, had False Dmitry I died yet?

Ziggy the 1st seems to have the more impressive crown, especially on the Szóstak.
