Maybe it's the love child of a Kalmar penning and a Pomerania-Stralsund hohlpfennig?

Another head-scratcher! I do note that Beeskow also had a pfennig with that same sort of arrowhead design, although the two points don't touch the outer circle (Bonhoff #1043). Here is one example:

However, the OP's coin seems to be more of a square with one diagonal.

Wallet, if you get either of the bracteates definitively attributed, please share what you learned. As Spence says, these are head-scratchers.
