Hello everyone

I supposed this is a coin from late Middle Ages or Modern History.
It's 18mm and it weights 0,54 gramms.

Any tip would be welcomed. Thanks all.

That is an interesting coin you have there @mais. I wonder if it isn't a Hand Heller from 14th or 15th Century Schwabisch-Hall, Germany. Here is a link to a similar piece for comparison:

That's a good direction to go to Spence.

Photo comparison shows similarities and dissimilarities.

Thanks Spence, maybe it is a variant. As Southsav said it has similarities (a lot) but some different details.

The coin's story in that link is fascinating.
