Looks like a collectable notgeld piece from the town of Thale/Harz

"Doppel" is German for double, and is sometimes used in the sense of "copy", so a "Doppel-Thaler" could be either a Double-Thaler, i.e. 2 Thaler denomination; or a Double (of a) Thaler, i.e. a copy.

I'm inclined to the copy theory, as a means of making clear that it is notgeld, not real money.

Here's an example of the type I'm seeing more of online.

Doppelthaler converts to 6 Marks.
