It's not a British Groat, if that's what you mean.

I can't ID it but I can tell its a debased hammered silver coin, circa 16th-17th C...
 

Very nice, can't wait to see what it is congrats
 

That's cool get a vacation and a piece of treasure. I would love to find something that old!!! Good Job!!!!!!!!!!

I think that is a stuiver from the Dutch city of Zwolle. This one is circa 1599.

Holy crap. Nailed it. I've been paging blindly through google image searches for the last week. Thank you :)
 

That's a great find, congrats.

Also, Bramblefind is a superhero.
 

My motto is "when in doubt, it's a Dutch coin"
 

Super nice coin. Hope you find some more...
