I believe it is a 6 stuiver coin made of .583 silver, dated 1684,
not 1664. The catalog number is KM50, and the type was made from
1672 through 1738 for the Dutch state of Zeeland.

James,

I believe you're correct. *I finally found something that makes
sense. *Check this out:

http://de.mimi.hu/numismatik/hoedjesschelling.html

"Hoedjesschelling
Niederl?ndische Schillingm?nze (Hutschilling) zu 6 Stuiver, die
zwischen 1672 und 1783 von der Provinz Seeland ausgegeben wurde. Die
Rs. zeigt einen L?wen mit Speer, auf dessen Spitze die Freiheitsm?tze
zu sehen ist."

Translated, this is:

Netherlandish schilling coin (hat schilling) 6 stuivers, were spent
between 1672 and 1783 in the province of Zeeland . *The obverse shows
a lion with a spear, on its the point can be seen a liberty cap.

I would assume that the date 1783 is a typo, as that date is not meaningful
to the catalog listings available to me. *Transpose the last two digits to
1738, though, and you have the last known date of issue for the reclining
lion with spear motif.

For openers, your coin is bent, which has been partially responsible for its
uneven wear pattern. Secondly, it appears that there is a punch mark of
some sort beneath the lion's body, which has made a raised area on the
opposite side, making the uneven wear worse yet. If the coin were in
original Fine condition, which is indicated by the stronger part of the
design, it might retail for $25-$50, but with the damage and subsequent
uneven wear, its value is reduced, perhaps to the sentimental level. If I
owned the coin I would flatten out the bend as best I could, and keep it as
part of my collection. It's not everybody in your neighborhood who owns a
coin over 300 years old!

I didn;t think it was worth much. Thanks to everyone for their help.
