I have identified my subject coin. It weighs 1.4grams and the diameter is 21.24 - 21.47 mm. The lettering that is legible is exact to the Numista description. It is not however silver. It is Bronze, Brass or Copper. I know that Austria minted !0-Kreuzer Bronze Coins in 1626. How do I find the KM # for this Bronze coin? I have a 6th edition 1601-1700 Standard Catalog of World Coins and have not found a way to locate this coin.

It would be helpful if you can include pictures of both sides of the coin.

Hello,
Yes, pics if possible.
The coin you mention was .500 silver, so may look brown according to oxydation.
I have not found bronze strike for that period in Herinek catalogue but ...

Difficult to judge from your small pictures. Is yours one of these?

Anyway, 3 Kreuzer coins were silver in 1626, though low grade as was mentioned above, practically billon. Improper cleaning could bring out copper from the alloy, which probably happened with your coin.
