Hi, I'm new to this forum. Recently started collecting coins.
Just after some help identifying this coin. It's very thin and around 26mm wide
Looks like it has an alphabet on the rear with missing letters.

What you have is not a coin but a German token (rechenpfennig) from late 16th or early 17th century. The inscriptions read:

HANNS KRAV-WINCKEL IN NVR (Hans Krauwinkel in Nuremberg)
FLEISIGE RECHNVNG MACHT RICHTIKEI[T] (Diligent accounting makes for correctness)

Hans Krauwinkel (and his son with the same name) made several tokens, this is just one of many. A search for "krauwinkel rechenpfennig" shows more of them. Here is some info about the Krauwinkels and their tokens: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia42705.html
