European hammered silver

Hi, any armchair hammered experts out there? This was found a few weeks ago in a local park that gives me a hammered about every other trip there. I think I know what it is, do you? I'm thinking Silesian? Greets from the Czech Republic! Edward
 
Check me on this, but I've come up with a 1/2 batzen(2 kreuzer) from the German state of Pfalz. The date should be 1576. Check to see if the coin reads on the obverse: RICH D G CO PA RH DV BA. The reverse should read: MAXI 2 ROMA IMP DE. This should roughly translate to "Richard" and "Maximilian II" Some of these letters may not be exact because the German states evidently break down into smaller sections such as Pfalz-(fill in the blank). I think the shields on the obverse represent Pfalz-( ). I hope you can narrow it down from there. I don't suppose I'll be finding one of those here in Texas.
