Hammered coin poor condition help identify please??

[leered1979]

Hi people found this coin its very bent and in poor condition it very thin seems old and hammered. I have looked in my seaby coin book 1995 and cannot see anything quite like this. Is it possibly from a different country? Thanks for your help. HH Lee

I think it might be a Jetton. I had one similar on Saturday

These were mass produced in Germany, & they literately flooded the European market with millions of low priced examples. It put most UK & French factories out of business. Its kinda irrevant where it was found, as they are found most places in the UK & Europe. I do however, take it as an indicator find - meaning the field may produce hammered Silver.
