What is this?

Blackhawk

I got this token? in a group of coins. It's very tiny (12mm) and seems to be made of iron or zinc. It has a reeded edge. While the design looks British, the words around the King's head read: IM: OF.ONE.CROWN.LATER NURNBERG.MADE IN GERMANY . I may be off on one or more letters because they're very small and hard to see.

That's interesting. I have no idea what it is.

Didn't the Germans have a lot of unusual "play money" around? Your estimate of the material makes me think that, or possibly some sort of gaming token.

That's a very unusual looking piece.

A jeton or spielmarke I suppose.

I suspect "LATER" is actually LAUER, a maker of many different miniature coins. I have a German 20 Mark and 2 Pfennig piece that were acquired in bulk lots. There are a couple of different pieces listed on ebay now.

I believe this subject came up a couple of weeks (months?) ago.

Something about "let Germany keep their King" because their law didn't allow women to be heads of state. Any one else remember this?
