I would appreciate any help in identifying this copper coin I have. Looks like the date is 1468.

The date is indeed 1468 - one of the oldest numismatic items to bear an AD date in "Western" numerals.

Apparently I have been awarded the DPOTD twice.
My last question is does anyone have an approx. idea of value for this coin?

Nice find, Sapyx! I have not seen that site until you posted it. St. Andrew and the cross made me think Papal States, most likely...

No idea. Jetons aren't considered "real coins" so don't get put into the regular coin catalogues - and the Krauses don't go back this far anyway. Best guess from similar items on CoinArchives, and taking the fairly worn condition into account, I'd guess around $10. Perhaps more, if the "old occurrence of an AD date" actually translates into increased demand for this item.
But I'm really just guessing.
