Hi, m8s!
Little coin to identify :)

Tin or lead
Max diameter 13.5 mm
Weight 1 g

It's very important to me to identify this coin, because I have several tin or lead coins with worn out surface. This one is the best quality.
I think all these coins are from one place.

The anchor and star makes me think Judean lepton, but of course those weren't tin or lead. Could be a counterfeit of those, though; they're popular due to the Biblical connection as "widow's mites".

Other than that, no idea, sorry.

You mean nowadays counterfeit? I don't think so, because I cleaned it by myself and it was covered with solid plaque layer from ages.

Where did it come from?

If it's lead, it's likely a token. It looks like spokes on one side and an anchor on the other.

Which regions used tin or lead for their coins? Maybe I can do my own research and find something similar.
