✅ SOLVED Coin I.D. please.....

[l2hunt]

Recently found this coin and could use some help with I.D. It's the same size as a U.S. nickel, but has really thinned out over the years. Found some basic info on it, possibly a Austrian coin, silver I believe. As one can see it reads Carol VI. On the reverse it looks like it reads a 1728 date at the top, 17 being left of the crown and the 28 to the right of the crown, am I correct about the date? Lastly, on the reverse bottom of the coin shows a three, would this be the value of the coin?
Thanks for any help it's appreciated.

sorry for some reason the pics turned to the left side.

I think its a nice silver 3 kreuzer from Austria or maybe one of the Austrian states. I think its Charles VI.

Looks to be a 3 Kreuzer coin from Austria-Habsburg. The monarch is Emperor Karl VI and 1728 was the last year of issue for that design. It is indeed silver and a very unusual find for the US. Did you find it in Florida?

Went for 30 Euro.


How did that come to America? The Spanish connection is imho a little too late, since Habsburg lost Spain around 1700. Austrian Netherlands maybe?

Nice find!

How did that come to America?

Foreign coins were in use in the United States as "small change" until the 1850's.
