Can someone please help me identifying this gold coloured coin or medallion?

The coin is about 1-1,5 cm in diameter and weights 0,7 gram.

Any ideas?

Best regards!

It's not a coin, but a brass rechenpfennig, or German counting-jeton. It is part of a large series of similar jetons produced by the Nuremberg jeton-makers featuring foreign leaders. The reverse legend would make this obvious, if it were clearer: RECHE:PFENING. The obverse legend reads SCHWARZENBERG, so I would presume the portrait in this case to be Austrian prince Felix of Schwarzenberg, minister-president of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1848 to 1852. This is presumably a reasonable date-range for your rechenpfennig.
