It looks like to me that you need to tap the inner ring indicated with screwdriver and hammer.
Check to see if there is a nut just below the handle which the stem comes out of. If this is a laundry faucet or the type that projects from a wall there may be a connecting nut that allows the faucet to swivel into alignment with the supply pipe. Either way use a crescent (adjustable jaw) wrench or as @bib mentioned tape or a rag to protect the faucet from being marred.

The round piece that is around the valve stem appears to be threaded into the outer body of the valve assembly. The internal hex shaped hole is used to accept a tool that fits over the valve stem and engages the inside shape to allow that round piece to be screwed out.
It is unlikely that a standard tool exists to extract the valve assembly and it may be necessary to contact the manufacturer to check on the availability of a specialized tool.
