Hi!
This is Mainz city bridge token. You can find sources in google with "Mainz Stadt Brückenzollmarke zu 2 Kreuzer".
B:Z: is for "Brücken zoll".

Hey IVB, do you happen to know the vintage of these tokens? The "wheel" looks like an old wooden spoked wheel which made me wonder if the token was older.

Unfortunately, I don't know, but I think it's may be from 19th century.

@matklang
NumisBids website indicates that this token is about 1780.

Oldhoopster is right that the wheel looks remarkably like the coat of arms from an Osnabruck 1800ish kreuzer but I can find nothing that is quite like this or the same on both sides. Could this be a pattern?

Excellent. Thank you.

Thanks again IVB. That agrees with everything i've been able to find out.
