Sorry for the poor pictures, I think I figured out what it is. The seller had it marked as a roman coin 500 to 800AD. I bought it for 33 USD.

Im just trying to figure out if Im correct, I think its a polish coin from the 1600's. Can someone let me know if Im correct? And did I pay too much? I dont know much and impulse bought it while on vacation in Texas.

Here’s some information. The value of the coin is about $50 but your coin isn’t in a very good condition.👍🏻

Yes it does look like a 6 Grossus Marienberg mint ("Ex-Capitol of Teutonic Knight's Order") but the year is in shadow and a bit difficult to read... 16xx something.

Bit of history to boot: Sigismund III Vasa (also known as Sigismund III of Poland), was King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, monarch of the united Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1587 to 1632, and King of Sweden (where he is known simply as Sigismund) from 1592 as a composite monarchy until he was deposed in 1599. He was the son of King John III of Sweden and his first wife, Catherine Jagellonica of Poland. Elected to the throne of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Sigismund sought to create a personal union between the Commonwealth and Sweden (Polish-Swedish union), and succeeded for a time in 1592. After he had been deposed in 1599 from the Swedish throne by his uncle, Charles IX of Sweden, and a meeting of the Riksens ständer (Swedish Riksdag), he spent much of the rest of his life attempting to reclaim it. Shortly after his victory over his internal enemies, Sigismund took advantage of a period of civil unrest in Muscovy (known as the Time of Troubles) and invaded Russia, holding Moscow for two years (1610-12) and Smolensk thereafter. In 1617 the Polish-Swedish conflict, which had been interrupted by an armistice in 1611, broke out again. While Sigismund's army was also fighting Ottoman forces in Moldavia (1617-21), King Gustavus II Adolphus of Sweden (Charles IX's son) invaded Sigismund's lands, capturing Riga (1621) and seizing almost all of Polish Livonia. Sigismund, who concluded the Truce of Altmark with Sweden in 1629, never regained the Swedish crown. His Swedish wars resulted, moreover, in Poland's loss of Livonia and in a diminution of the kingdom's international prestige.

Thanks everyone, I definitely over paid. But honestly I don't really care, its not often you run into these guys here in the states so it has a bit of value for me. Wont be doing that kind of impulse buy ever again though.
