I have this silver coin which I wasn't able to identify on Numista. It has 20mm diameter and weights 1.22 g.

One side has “STEINENS MO.NOHON” and some religious figure in the center (an adult holding a child and some string instrument?):

Other side has big “C” or “G” initial in the middle, surrounded by date “16 73”. The text around the edge is “GG.ZS.W.V.H.H.Z.H.V.N.LV.CL.”

Initially it seemed Hungarian because of the Madonna with the child however there’s no coat of arms. The closest I could find it this: N#113970 

 however the date is off by ~120 years
