Got this several months ago for very cheap in a plastic binder with notgeld's from Aachen, Germany from whatnot...
Has the German artist Alfred Rethel, 1816-1859, and as mentioned in the title, is a simple uniface with a toothed border.

Robert Lamb's 1966 book titled "Catalog of German War Tokens" does not even mention this one. Perhaps this is a trial strike of an un-struck denomination, making this a very rare item indeed.
Size: 30mm
Weight: about 9.09g
Better indicate this is not found on Numista...

May have to get the reverse photo tomorrow.

I agree with numista here, as that coin is at 24mm, mine is at 30mm, so that can't be it, although made of the same material I believe

I'm beginning to suspect this is an un-struck 5 mark denomination?
