For some reason I want to say Polish, which is plausible in this location, but of course could be a lot of other stuff.
I very clearly read GO at 11-12h on the first pic, but can't see any more letters. There's what appears to be a shield right next to the GO but I'm not sure what's on that shield. Overall vibe is late 16th/early 17th century, but again can be very wrong. Size (i.e. length, which is roughly the diameter of the original coin) would probably help.
Currently going through Numista to check if anything looks similar (there are 33 pages of results but most are obviously irrelevant).

Second picture, Top left corner used to be an A. A small piece chipped off when I put it away, and it clearly was an A. Unfortunately the piece is quite delicate... Here is a picture (not scan) of it before the chip:

For what it's worth, there was nothing that immediately jumped out to me as plausible on all 33 pages, but I might well have missed something. Or it could be a type that doesn't have lettering listed on Numista (and/or isn't listed on Numista at all).

I tried to enhance. The size and thickness in millimeters could be the first leading clues.

My initial reaction to seeing it was that it might be a Krauwinkel rose/orb jeton, but it's really hard to make out.

Good luck on this one...Try a making a tracing of the coin...maybe some of the lettering can become more apparent...or try putting some alcohol on it to again attempt to highlite the images.

Hi, I will post the size when I get home, I'm gone for the weekend. But Goslar makes sense, because it was found about an hours drive from Goslar.

Its too large for the 1/24 Taler (18-19 mm diam). Here is a list of Goslar coins: https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/go...y-1.html?o=yI think it could be worthwile to put a piece of paper on the fragmett you found and gently rub a pencil over it to visualie the devices (whats left of them) better.

(Edited) I thought I could see things that looked like the design elements on the obverse of the 1/24 thaler coin, on the side with GO (after rotating the photo 180 degrees).
Bot the more I look at it, the less certain I am of anything due to the poor condition.
