Got a tiny (12mm) German Lauer game token here. Haven't been able to locate any other examples online. Looking to find out what year it was made, rarity, and possible value. Hard to get a good pic since it is so small but it is in decent condition. Thanks.

Well outside my area of knowledge, but a very interesting token!

Would have been made as play money, for children. As such, it would have to date from around the time - or not too long after - the 3 cent coin was in regular use: the later half of the 1800s.
