This is an interesting coin I picked up the other day, tentatively identified as a Livonia Skilling. Given the "57" on one side, perhaps it's dated 1657?

Interesting coin! And interesting off-center strike!

This is Livonia 1 solidus (shilling, silins)KM#4, indeed struck in 1657.
It was struck during the rule of the Swedish king Carl X Gustavus (hence the CG-monogram).

Thanks Bart and EgCollector!
I also wonder if the off-center strike caused the flan to hit something that folded the edge slightly? The position is interesting.
