Cannot ID this coin

TeamRhoads · May 8, 2015

My first trip out, I found a piece of round folded up metal. Being the new guy I was, I tried to unfold it without heat, and ended up breaking it. I've since cleaned it up, and I am able to make out one word "IOHAN", which I googled. I've found plenty of coins with the same word, just not the same coin yet. Any ideas?

Welcome to Treasure Net !!
What does the other side look like?
What is the scale of the coin? (diameter in mm would be helpful)

I'd have to get measurements in the morning, but the other side has been rubbed smooth

A pic of the other side NWS it may appear smooth might still help.

Quite sure what you have is a brass Jeton. There is many types.

I do see a soldier holding a spear and a shield. But can't find any close with the germanic name Iohanna on it. Was this found in Ansbach Germany?

More in the Heilsbronn area, close to an old fortress
