Anyone have an idea what this one is? It's pretty rough, so headed for the cull pile unless it's something special...

put it out of its misery!  (;0
Diameter, weight, thickness, etc?
19-19.5 mm, very thin, 1.53 grams.
With a coin in such a condition it would be difficult to say without prior cleaning. I can only point you in a direction of your own further research. And this direction would be countries around the Baltic sea. Sweden or Lithuania or Poland Solidus from 16th - early 17th century would be most probable. Billon solids/schillings of the time due to the minting process were often off-center. Polish solids and 1/2 or 1 groschen have eagles on them (there seem to be a lower part of the eagle visible on your coin). A few links below might help.

I collect coins and tokens which circulated in Africa from 18th century to 2000. I sell about 7000 illustrated world coins from http://www.avscoins.com.
