Tough one for sure. If I'm seeing it right, I bet it's something foreign we'd never think of. Here's the type of bust I see, only facing the opposite way. This is in no way a guess or suggestion, I just am familiar with the early Belgium coins having that shape of bust and found the pic to show you.
Liège: liard of Ernest of Bavaria (1581-1612)

Thanks for your input, IP. I just posted the coin in "What is it?"
Certainly silver, and looks like it was struck with a collar, not hammered. I looked through British and French and didn't see anything close. I don't think anything spanish makes sense, but my gut feeling is late 1600s or 1700s.

P.S.--Iron Patch,
After looking at your suggestion, I am wondering if you think that the first photo is the bust side. The second photo is, and it is upside down, now corrected in my "What is it?" post.
Regards,
Buckles
