Strange coin

[cerebus]

Found in my change today! Exact same size as a dime, just a little thicker. Has a silver color to it, but may be copper. Right facing bust, letters are strange. A crown, coat of arms with a guy on a horse. Date appears to be 1799, but the 9s are different. Thinking some from some small foreign country or a fake.
