I recently found this coin in my local coin shop. Neither I nor the shopkeeper know what coin this is but I purchased it anyways for what I think is a decent price. Please help me identify this coin and it's worth. Thank you in advance. 

Dimensions: 

- 17.3mm in diameter

- 0.3mm thick

Material: suspected copper or billion? (Unsure)

Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor - 1658-1705. L?OPOLD ? D G RIM SA year on second image. Some HRE state/locality. Not seeing enough info on first image to id.

 

2 pfennig as indicated by orb. Probably year 1663.

 

Probably counterfeit based on crude horse. There was widespread counterfeiting in neighborhood during and after second northern war.

2 Kreuzer (Halbbatzen) from Swiss Cantons

Would it be a contemporary counterfeit. I'm not sure if it is casted or it is just worn and toned. And yeah the first image front of the coin looks scuffed. I thought it would be from Chur or something due to the crest design on shield but I am not sure as I cannot find it online or anywhere. This is the closest I found: N#97520

Any idea which Canton specifically? I am not able find any via NGC, numista, MA shops, coin archive etc etc that fits it's description. The closest one I found is this N#97520

Does look like City of Chur. 

 

MON NO CV on first image

 

But your example looks more coopery than photo of numista or other 2 kreuzers on ma-shops.

 

My second guess would be contemporary counterfeit pretending to be 2 kreuzers from Chur.

Yeah I actually realised I forgot to put the weight. It's 0.73g which is way too light so yeah most likely a cast contemporary counterfeit. Very interesting coin though. Thanks for your inputs.
