Hello and welcome to the forum.

Austria? Close, but not quite. "BELGII" is the old Latin name for the Low Countries (from which "Belgium" derives it's name). This coin is from the Austrian Netherlands, a liard dated 1744. According to the Krause catalogues there were three mintmarks that year, but the mintmark has been almost completely worn away on your coin - I can't tell which one it is. KM# 1.

Thank You very much.

Do You have images of those mintmark's? "Angel face" "hand" and "lion". I know that this coins is almost only piece of metal, but
I like to know what it was few years ago, so I asked about identyfication.

This one currently visible on CoinArchives is presumably the "angel head", though it looks more like an alien to me; the "hand" is illustrated in Krause and looks like a palm facing with fingers pointing up.

I don't know what the "lion" looks like, but that might be the curved tip of a lion's tail just visible on your coin, directly below the first "4".

this is probably a fluff post but I just have to say that although this coin is not mine and I don't collect in this area, you guys are amazing when it comes to your ability to identify coins. And the speed in which you do it is very impressive. I doubt if I will ever meet any of you and I probably would be greatly intimidated to do that in person, but this forum is awesome for the knowledge it contains (and I'm sure the great people too)
