Trying to help a friend ID his recently dug cut silver coin

[Bill D. (VA)]

Looked high and low in my Krause book and can't find a thing. Does anyone know the country of origin and date range? Appears to be 1700s. Thanks for any help.

I think it's a Silver peso of Carlos IV - probably around 1800

I think it might be a circa 1680s 6 Stuivers from the Dutch city of Kampen. In the legend by the 6 the city is spelled "Campen" which seems to fit with what that piece shows. Also the other side has the horse & rider (you can see the horse's feet) and the legend words "CORCORDIA RES" which seems to match too. I couldn't find a very clear photo of one on a quick search but here is an example-



Composition: Silver
Weight: 4.71g
Obverse: Crowned arms divide value, date above crown
Obverse Legend: MO NO ARG CIVIT CAMPEN
Reverse: Knight with sword on horseback right, crowned arms below horse
Reverse Legend: CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCVNT

Netherlands-City of Kampen 6 stuivers dated 1689 (02/14/2011)
