Hi,

Probably from the Dombes, in France.

Hello,
With this kind of lilies it's most likely a liard of the Principality of Orange (they look pretty much the same but the lilies of the Dombes are more sophisticated), probably under Frédéric-Henri de Nassau but it could be under Maurice de Nassau as well :

​Thanks to both of you. Principality of Orange seems to be the right issuer. But without lettering on the coin it´s hard to decide which ruler...

As I said before, this one is not from the Dombes but from Orange : it's a common mistake as they look pretty much the same. The only way to tell whitout the legends are the lilies.

The liard of Marie de Montpensier is more common, but it's not the only ones like that : after her, Anne-Marie d'Orléans used the same design and the legends were almost identical... At the same period, Orange produced the" liard au M" too for Maurice and Frédéric Henri de Nassau with a slightly difference in the design that we can observe here ;).
