Super Neat find today while sorting thru coins. After some long researching, we finally found this denomination. This is the 18 GROSZY from the Kingdom of Poland, Sigismund III Vasa Silver coin. Item is in decent shape for its age. It does show signs of wear with fading on both sides. Luckily, there are enough details to make out what it was. Super cool piece to add to any collection. See photos for details.
