Hello,
I am a Spanish collector of coins per years. I look for exchanges with others collector, I am in the habit of using the valuation of the catalogue krawse for the changes, but I am opened for any other offer.

I have a number of these and hope soon to research them.
Preliminary work reveals the following names:

Hanns Krauwinkel (Nuremburg?)
Wolf Laufer (Germany?)

Size varies from 21mm - 28mm
most of copper/bronze although a couple are of brass

Several are listed under the numista tokens section,

I have a few Hans as well, there seem to be a wide variety of these tokens with high and low value.

It is a Nuremberg (or Nürnberg) jeton/counter token.
Google for 'Nuremberg jeton' to find a lot of information.
Even in this site you will find similar tokens.

Here is one of mine:

Rijkdom bestaat niet uit het hebben van veel bezittingen, maar in het hebben van weinig behoeften
