As part of the enormous coin collection passed down to me were a lot of foreign coins of which I have no knowledge and have just started looking into them. Just an idea on what I have and maybe a value guesstimation would be appreciated. Thanks

Your coin seems to stem from 1551 A.D. when Ferdinand the 1st was the King of Hungary & Bohemia (before he became the Holy Roman Emperor).

History Lesson follows:

What do you think?

Yep, it's a denar from Hungary, the Kremnitz mint. They are actually very common despite the age. These were made in very high numbers and are being dug up in large numbers even today.
