Please add it to this thread when you have a chance. I'm pretty sure that your coin comes from the German Bishopric of Würzburg based on that unusual monogram in the center. I have a late 15th Century Pfennig with a similar design (see below). Yours is clearly a much larger denomination, but hopefully this gives you a good starting point.
