Yes. Lots of German farmers settled in or near the Hudson River, all around Sleepy Hollow.

German farmers or headless Prussian cavalrymen?

Great find. It’s ‘German States’ from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, issued under Prince Charles II William Ferdinand (Karl II Wilhelm Ferdinand)

You’re welcome. Scheidemünze coins and tokens were issued alongside official currency in Austria and Germany up until the beginning of WWI.
They differed from standard currency in that the intrinsic value of their metal was less than the stated denomination (1 pfenning/pfennig for your example).
The term “scheidemünze” literally translates as "division money" and refers to the subdivision of the mark into pfennigs and hellers, but also has the loose meaning of “small change.”
