Hi!

This little coin is 0.14g and has 13mm diameter.
It seems that there are 3 towers, I assume that the design of the city walls.

I found a kind like similar coin from the city of Cologne. There are 3 towers as well but I can see that they are in one line however mine middle tower is higher than two others. I wonder if I have a hunch here. Maybe someone could advise on this?

A picture would help. The coin you linked to shows three crowns; though there are several types with three towers.

here is an example currently at Vcoins--

Three crowns for the "three kings" who are the patrons of Cologne (nice connection for early January).

Based on the lower part of the design, maybe yours is closer to this one (I will try to check the correct Noss reference):
