Thanks Cathy, that narrows it down. Probably not Albanian also.

I believe it looks like a French or German Jetton token, a coin used for counting or games. 16th -17th century. I am 85% sure that is what it is, my initial thought was medieval Spain, but more likely a Jeton.

Spanish medieval coin. Similar to this one:

Can I ask how do you image your coins? It is beautifully done. And it is a very nice coin too.

Thanks for the compliment. We use a middle quality Nikon digital camera, a very simple copy stand, and various lighting techniques depending on the coin. And of course some adjustment in Photoshop.

We highly recommend purchasing a copy of "Numismatic Photography" by Mark Goodman (I believe he is a member of these forums). It contains a lot of very useful information from basic setup and camera selection to very advanced techniques.
