Hello! Had this coin for years now and has remained unidentified, one side shows what looks like a person next to a skeleton and the other side looks to me like a tree. Size reference can be seen on the last picture, weighs 2.76grams and I would say it is made from either copper or bronze. Is anyone able to shed some light of this coin/token?

This is likely a German made jeton from the 16th or 17th century. I am not aware of a reference book or website for identifying them. Maybe another member does?

I found that article to be very enlightening. Seeing how they were used on a reckoning cloth was great.
