Wondering if this has a known era
Little-Spielgeld
The plant looks vaguely like the designs of the West German 1-10 pfennigs, but on the other hand, it's just a plant, so who knows?
Little-Spielgeld
It also has some nice doubling in the first picture ("GELD").

Listed here as a German Token: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces32201.html

No date. Several similar tokens listed. Some marked as "Jetons" or counter.

I ran "Spielgeld" through google translate and it comes back as play money.

According to what I found apparently some of them did circulate as unoffical currency, so it may be viewed as some sort of notgeld and that would put it in the inter-war period.

I would agree with that; given that the design is reminiscent of the oak-sapling and denomination on postwar German coins. I would date it to the 1950s or 1960s, and purely for the purpose literally meant by "spielgeld": play money.
