Are those three crowns? Sweden has used that motif on their coinage but I do not have any references for something that old

It's Swedish, I have an 1/6 Ore that looks similar--what's on the other side?

You don't have to start a new thread - click on "reply to topic" instead of typing into the quick reply box, and you'll come up with a screen that has "insert picture" again.

Here's the pic of the other side, from the other thread (which will eventually be deleted):

As KurtS said, it's a 1/6th ore from Sweden. It's listed in my 1600's Krause catalogue as KM# 254. My catalogue is fairly old now (2003), and gives a value for 1668 of $5 in VG, $20 in Fine. It's difficult to judge the condition of your coin from those photos, but it's probably somewhere in that range.

I shouldn't have responded in two places so I'll again offer this tentative ID: Sweden 1668 1/6 Ore.

Oops...Sap beat me to it! Here's my 1667 1/6 ore as verification:
