I bought a coin at auction that was described as "1525 European copper Northern France/Germany". I'm having trouble identifying this coin. The double headed eagle makes me think Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jeton from the Spanish Netherlands?
try to ID parts of the legend and then you might find it

As is common with these jetons, there are frequent differences in the spellings of the words; not all of these variations are included in the catalog.
This is a jeton of Charles V as Holy Roman Emperor, struck for the Chambre des Comptes in Lille, 1524.
