Hi All, this isn't my usual sort of coin. I'm more into roman, but somehow ended up with this. Any I. D. And date help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Nuremberg counter jeton, Wolff Laufer.
I think the other side's legend is GOTES SEGEN MACHET RECHT, which, um, would mean God's something makes right or something? My German is a bit hazy.

Don't know enough about those to be sure of any more details (including the period); not even sure which particular Wolff Laufer it is (there were several).

It's an archaic form of German, which doesn't help. It's apparently quoting Proverbs 10:22 "God's blessings bring riches".

The UKDFD article is still the best one-stop-shop resource for Nuremberg jetons.
