to CCF, fatpaul!

It's something - nice and shiny, at least - and someone should be along shortly to give you some ideas. Unfortunately, my knowledge of German is severely limited.

It's not a coin, nor I think a token, with no denomination on it. I suspect it's a souvenir medal from the place named upon it: Ramelsloh is the name of a small village near Hamburg. "Luneberger Heide" is German for the Luneberg Heath, a patch of wilderness in north-central Germany just to the south of the village.

The German version of the Ramelsloh Wikipedia page is a little less brief, and also shows the coat of arms and a pic of the church depicted on the coin.

Sap is right - that is a souvenir medal. Ramelsloh has been part of the municipality of Seevetal for about 30 years, so I guess your medal is older. But of course there were later occasions to issue such medals too. The church depicted went through a major reconstruction around 1888, so the piece may be from 1988. Just a guess though. The three-digit figure (985?) on the "church side" of the medal indicates the silver content.
