If it is like the above then its a French 1/12 ecu minted under Louis 14th, here is a link with a few similar coins:

Here is the same coin and date for sale on a German site:

Although I think the 200 euros they want for it is a bit high! - its prob worth half that at best.
If you look after the letters 'LVDXIIII D G' you may be able to see the mint mark on the coin and work out exactly where it came from. The mint marks are symbols like stars (in above picture), lions/dogs, crescents, flowers and towers.
