Default Coin of Holy Roman Empire period

I have a coin, metal uncertain, colour (in its condition) blackish;
diameter 16mm. One side: double headed eagle with crown above 2 heads,
eagle contained in fine circle; legend CAROL.D.G.R.I.S.A. 1729. Other
side: an odd assemblage of symbols within a fine circle, legend
S.LVCI.M.ET.CVRIE.

Clearly the first legend refers to Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor,
also King Charles III of Hungary, and briefly Charles III of Spain.

Can anyone help me with the other side? I suspect it refers to a
German state? or perhaps a religious authority? As near as I can tell,
S LVCI M ET CVRIE would translated as "St Lucia Maria and Court" -
which is not instructive to me. Also any info as to identity of
issuing nation, denomination, metal woudl be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Muruk

I've looked all over and can't find anything about this one. Maybe
some kind of a token? I'd really like to see a scan and find out
what's on the reverse side. If you e-mail me the "jpg" files, I'd
be happy to put them on my site, or you could post them on the
alt.binaries.pictures.numismatic newsgroup. Best wishes...
