You didn’t mention if the coin was gold or silver but off the top of my head. the coin sounds like it might be a quarter taler of Duke Ferdinand I (1521-1564) who ruled Austria during this time. Bohemia and Hungary were added to his domain during his reign so your guess that the coin is Hungarian was partially correct. The legend, translates as Frederick By the Grace of God (DG) Duke (DVXS).
