Hi Peter,
Thanks very much for the reply. I searched for pictures of this type of
jetton on the internet and found something very similar to mine:

Oh well, I was hoping it was a medieval French gold coin!

Hi
What you have there looks like a Nuremburg Jetton, And if I am not
mistaken it is a Hans Krauwinckel Type (1586 - 1635)
Hope this helps

Hi,
I recently bought a bag of coin and token oddments. I've managed to
identify
all but two; this is one of them:

It weighs a mere 1.6 grams and is about 15 mm across.
I know nothing about gold coins (I specialise in copper), but this looks
like gold to me (it's certainly a different colour to my many "in memory
of
the good old days" tokens!).
Can anyone identify this for me?
Thanks a lot,
Jon
