The coin is similar to one minted within the reign of Peter the Great; probably 1689-1725 as indicated here: here:https://www.educationalcoin.com/media/amfile/files/(1)imagesalbumsoptrusswirealb.pdf
The legend on the reverse has several close similarities.
Most interesting (and silver) find !!

Sweet find. No wonder those little things would get lost. I can just imagine a leather bag full of them with a tiny hole in one corner.

Way to go! All I can tell you is that's a hell of a lot older than anything I've ever found. Good work!
