Looks like it might be a cool find. But it really would help if the pictures were even somewhat legible.
Based on the portrait alone, I think it looks like Konrad Adenauer, father of modern Germany. Plus, "Präsident" (about the only word I can make out) is the German spelling. Whether it is contemporary or what, I can't tell from this.
If it has 900 printed in the leaves by the edge, that sucker is gold!
Someone is gonna be mighty peeved about losing that coin in the street!
You might want to hold on to it and check any local clubs or dealers to see if it was stolen. Dumb thieves might discard a coin if they don't know what it is.
There is also a Kennedy alone version and a JFK/RFK version. That said, there is a possibility that it is not gold. I think there were base metal strikes made. See if someone can check Krause Unusual coins for us.
