Hello guys :)

I was walking in the forest with my girlfriend (this is in Denmark), and we found this coin at random. We have no idea if it's something completely ordinary or not, we were kindda hoping someone in here would be able to tell :-)

Thanks for the thoughts! A very experienced member of another coin community estimated the coins origin date to be before year 1500. The material is easily bendable and seems very soft.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure it isn't an actual coin. "Bendable and soft" probably means it is made of lead. All kinds of lead tokens were being made in Europe over the last millennium.

I assume it being a token of some sort, will have a huge impact on the value?

Thanks so far, but I would still love any leads on what this might be. Feel free to ask questions ! :-)
