I recently bought a lot of coins - mostly European - and this was included with them. Since there's no indication of a denomination, I'm wondering if it's something other than a coin. Regardless, I cannot figure out when or where it is from. The writing seems to be Latin. The best guess I have for the crest is Polish. It's 20mm, 2.6g. For the price, I'm assuming it is not gold, even though that's what it looks like. I'd love it if someone could help me identify it!

Can you type out the text you see? It's a bit hard to tell.

I can only say that “et phoebi et martis” is the moto of the Polier family which lost their nobility through impoverishment in the 1300s, so maybe it's a privately issued item. The name is also present on the reverse (LINK ).

My best guess: ANNVVM
& AET D D A
NOB FR POLIER (I'm guessing on the FR, its pretty worn)
IN COLL FRANCOP
RVTH PHOEBI (I'm guessing the PH since that word also exists on the obverse)
DELICIIS

Google translates IN COLI FRANCOR as “broken in the colon.” I'm confident that's not the meaning on this token, but it amused me enough to share.
