Clear pictures of both sides will be necessary. It's also helpful to crop and rotate your pictures.

This is a coin of Ragusa (modern day Croatia), probably a 17th century grossetto if it is about 17 mm.

If you give us the size, and a photo of the reverse, we can complete the identification (and possibly determine an exact date).

I think from the side of the coin that's been shared, we can say this is a grossetto of Ragusa, circa 1660 (based on the size, type and number of stars).

This one might even be a die match, with the displaced S:

From this link, you can see where the date would be found on the other side of your coin, if it is visible.

Interesting coin!
