I think I can make out a D U X but that's about it. I believe it's silver, too, but there isn't much of it: it is VERY thin, with a diameter of 17mm. Good luck and Thanks again for looking...

Seems to match this: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces115585.html

Genoa, 2 soldi, early 18th century. I think the date is probably illegible on your coin.

I originally misinterpreted it as the arms of Savoy, which misled my search for a while... fortunately I did enough alternate searches to find the right type (the search that found it was for "shield", "DVX" in lettering, and 16-21 mm size, and got about a hundred results, most of them obviously too late).

Outstanding! Thanks, january1may!

BTW: where exactly did you perform that search?

On the Catalog page of Numista; the "add filters" button opens up several filters, including "size" and "lettering", though the general design remarks (in this case "shield") have to be put into the main bar.
