size:25mm
weight:0,65 g

I think possible to be from Lubeck, minted during the danish domination (1201-1224)

Anyone are able to conferm or update my opinion?

Many Thanks,
Marco

Many Thanks Salier,
i ask you also:
is this coin a Maehren or Boehmen brakteat?
I havent' a good reference for german medieval coinage.
For example i thought this brakteat was from Lubeck because saw a similar on the book "Introduction to medieval bractates" by John F. Lhotka, 1958 (Sic!)
