Hello darianx,
in the legend i read Rechenpfennig (Jeton), but i can´t identify the name of the producer. I see IOZ (Joseph ?) LEPISLIAN (??).

Thanks for answer, but my question is "what year, more or less, could it be minted?" and where it comes from - which region in Germany? Was it a coin or jeton indeed. The ruler was Georg II - I think so - prince in the Germany or a king in the Britain? Thanks in advance

Hi darianx,
Georg II was king of Britain and "Kurfürst" (kind of duke) of Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Calenberg (the later kingdom of Hanover) ruling 1727-1760.
Regards,
Archimedes

The name of the manufacturer is Johann Christian Reich who had his business at Fürth from about 1758 to about 1800. Grüße, KAM

Thanks a lot, but could anyone write actually about this item supported by any catalog. Because I still don't know how should I describe this "jeton" in my coins collection. Thanks in advance for concrete information.

This one is (as far as I can see) not published. Mitchiner (Jetons, medalets & Tokens, the medieval period and Nuremberg, vol 1.) shows a lot of jetons from J.C.Reich, but only one English style with Queen Anne (nr. 2162) The reverse is similar with 3 flowers.
All the best
