Hi.
This coin is in poor condition and I cannot read the legend, although maybe ones with more experience among you might be able to identity it.
It resembles a double sol parisis, of Charles IX for example, but the reverse of https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces120805.html does not match.
The weight of mine is just 1.74g, which might be due to material loss. Also, the metal looks billon at best, for sure not good silver.
What do you think, can it be at least attributed?
Thanks

Look at the kind of crown above the 3 fleurs de lis. It makes me think at the "Florette" coins of Charles VI. Especially with that small crown in the armpit of the cross on the reverse:

Thank you, it looks like it, comparing it with
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces258150.html
and I think that we can read the LV of KAROLVS and FRA of FRANCORV
Although it has lost a lot of its nominal weight
