Greetings,

I am hoping that someone in this forum could help me identifying this detector-find, as I have previously been unsuccessful in doing so.
Any help is highly appreciated!

I suspect that it might be some sort of medieval pilgrim token, but aren't sure.

@semm, first welcome to CCF. Second, that looks somewhat like 13th Century Munster to me. Compare yours with the coin of Otto II on numista:

Maybe you are right Bob, but what about that Gordian's knot? I'm struggling to find which bishop had that.

Added: ok never mind. You found it! Sorry for doubting you.

In the spirit of teamwork, I followed @spence's lead, and found this one where the bishop has the same large cross on his vestments: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2070566

Very nice medieval coin you have!

And ...

Edit: Ha! scooped by my two mentors out here
