This is a Dutch silver coin known as a "Tien stuiver" or "Noodmunt" which translates to "ten-stuiver emergency coin". It was minted in Amsterdam in 1578 by Roelant Goverts Pigge during the Siege of Amsterdam. The coin depicts a crown and the letter "T" for "Tien" and has a unique octagonal shape, making it a significant historical artifact of the Dutch Republic. The coin's inscription, "AR. LT. FO," is the inscription of "Argent Lege Fort," which means "Silver Light Strong" or "Silver Light Strong." The inscription was used on all coins during the Siege of Amsterdam to symbolize the city's strength.
