HI Guys-
I just bought this foreign silver planchet out of the melt bin today, I wonder if it is identifiable. It appears to be almost the same size and weight as a German Gulden
(mid 800s). Any thoughts?
Specs-
29mm diameter
2mm thick
12.75g
~.800 silver(?)

I think any German coin from the mid 800s would be pretty small and thin and hand-hammered.
(Yeah, I know. You meant mid-1800s. Haha. Still, I dunno how you'd be able to pin this one down convincingly, particularly as you don't know the fineness of the silver, do you?)

That's my gut instinct on the matter.
