I need information about this medal:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces41294.html

I have found never another piece.

The metal is silver 1000, weight 20,6g, 38mm

I don't know the year it was minted and the mintage quantity.

Can someone help ?

hmm what i find weird about your medal is that the word Wappen should be written with two P´s.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HELGOLAND-90-JAHRE-DEUTSCH-WAPEN-VON-HAMBURG-COIN-SHIP-TOKEN-/121046264173?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item1c2eeb696d&nma=true&si=Eu%2Bg3mEby8TVqkNMiZSWihaVZms%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

   Rather a long link, but a shiny example sold for US $5.50 yesterday.
Admittedly it has a different reverse of  HELGOLAND 90 JAHRE DEUTSCH 1890-1980  and the metal does not look like the silver one of yours, but is same 38mm size.  :)

   That one in Germany has another reverse of  ST. PAULI  LANDUNGSBRÜCKEN  on it.

You're wrong my friend.  You write "wapen" in dutch with one P.
The "Wapen von Hamburg" also known as Waffen von Hamburg it's a well known 1700 century clipper which sailed in the south seas.

Please do a Google on it.

Helgoland 90 Jahre in the title.

Yes I know this ---- is Copper Nickel, not Silver proof and other reverse. :(

Google don't really help, I have tried it.
