Looks like an 1867-XXIIR 1 lira from the Papal States, now Vatican City. 5g of .835 silver with an ASW of .1342 TO. Krause 19th Century 4th edition lists it at 4 bucks in F12, yours looks to have nice details, but problems out the wazoo... if you're interested, it's KM-1378.

I believe the "XXII" is the 22nd year of the papacy of Pope Pius IX. The "R" represents the Rome mint.

No problem. That's what this category is for.
Got any more mystery coins?
