Can someone please help me indentify it? Thank you!
Also, from what I know, I think it is a replica after a Carl X Gustav Schilling.
You can find them by searching catalogue

You can set date range to 1600-1700 to limit search.
Ongoing war resulted economical pressure to countries finances and increased mintage of copper coins. With copper having lower than nominal value it resulted widespread counterfeiting locally and abroad with Suceava being most quoted offender.
In Russia people started rioting. In Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 2 out 5 copper shillings were counterfeit.
I think this coin is from Moldavia, can you verify?
And what type it is? Thank you!

It is contemporary counterfeit. I don't have habit of blaming individual countries on counterfeiting given than Commonwealth copper printers were running at full speed with their shillings. Does it matter who printed legit one million shillings and who did half million fake ones?
Forums are not instant messaging. Give people time to respond before escalating your questions. Plus sometimes it is more interesting to figure out what you got on your own. You will not be able to tell that "Internet told me so", if you want to authenticate your coin.
Ok, I understand. And also, I think I found it 1 Solidus - Imitating Carl X Gustav, 1654-1660 (Suceava counterfeit; type 1) - Swedish Livonia – Numista.
But I'm not so sure. It may be 1 Solidus - Imitating Carl X Gustav, 1654-1660 (Suceava counterfeit; type 1) - Swedish Livonia – Numista or 1 Solidus - Imitating Carl X Gustav, 1654-1660 (Suceava counterfeit; type 2) - Swedish Livonia – Numista or 1 Solidus - Imitating Carl X Gustav, 1654-1660 (Suceava counterfeit; type 3) - Swedish Livonia – Numista
When you open any of those listings and scroll to the bottom of the comments, you will see drawings of the reverses of each type. Yours has a cross visible inside the inner circle, which I think eliminates all possibilities but one.
So which one do you think it is?
On the reverse, type 1 probably.
From your photos it is difficult to see much except for the cross, which points toward Type 1.
With the coin in hand you can probably see more of the design.
