@wfgodot, that is an interesting piece. It looks like it night be a trade token for wine. Below is the description for a similar German piece. I think yours is related, but not an exact match, so this will be just a lead to get you started.

Austria, Salzburg, copper trade token (Wahrzeichengeld), 1726, FHL monogram, grapes and grape leaves. Good for four kruezers worth of wine. Tokens like this were used at mine company stores in isolated areas. They were banned by the government in 1732. Salzburg got its name from its salt mines. Probszt 2708. (Günther Probszt, Die Münzen Salzburgs, 1975.)
