Very early Nuremberg rose/cross-and-orb type jeton with fictitious legends. These were the precursors to the later more well known issues by Krauwinckl, Laufer, etc.
Datewise, probably early to mid 1500s, when the blundered/fictitious legends were commonplace. Once Krauwinckl et al. came on the scene in the mid to late 1500s the legends became actual legends, usually in a flavor of German, with an aphorism/saying on one side and the name of the Rechenmeister/Guildmaster who designed the jeton on the other side.

Nice work @paralyse!

@paul, if you search CCF with the keyword nuremberg, you will find plenty of threads showing these jetons.
