Yes photos please. It's definitely an Austrian coin; the beginning HVN• BOH•LOMB•ET VEN stands for Hungary Bohemia Lombardy and Venice.

Thanks for your help. Coin is antimagnetic, weight about 13 g., but it is a yellow color on the outside. Probably FAKE, as you say. How can I be 100% sure?
hmm there are patinas of silver that can colour to a yellow golden tone but this looks to be made out of brass. Do you have the diameter in mm of your coin?

So I'm sorry but looks like yours is not an original, as the diameter should be 35 mm.

The most similar I've found is: VENEZIA FRANCESCO I D’ASBURGO LORENA (1815-1835) Mezzo Scudo Nuovo 1826 Venezia, argento gr. 12,975. c.s., Pagani 69, CNI 27, Her. 573. Rara
Where have you found the information that 1/2 Scudo must have a 35 mm?

I'm not in numismatics, I happen to have this coin, interested me how much coin has lost value because of these scratches, and whether it can be polished, as is scratched the surface, not deep!?
Never polish it, some people use tooling to polish hard scratches like this offf but it will also be recognised by collectors and it wouldn´t improve its value. It's hard to say by how much percent of the value is lost due to the scratches. This is my guess but I'd say its catalogue value minus 50-70% depends also how much the coin is sought after.

Thanks for your answers!
I think it is gold plated coin, and he was scratched just gilding, not silver. But anyway, if I can not sell this for more than 200 €, I give up!
