Yes European, most likely a Jetton (Jeton), I'll need some time with a thick book to ID.

Got it!

Brass Jetton (Jeton, rechenfpennig) - Reckoning counter/token (used on exchequer boards to work out taxes etc)

The first picture is the image of the 'Lion of Saint Mark' standing left, nimbate & winged, holding book of the Gospels in right fore-paw with large halo projecting into margin & surmounted by a cross.
Legend reads: SANTVS:MARGGVS:NI
Second picture (reverse) would have shown:
Cross on Orb (known as treasure) with 3 pairs of annulets outside
HANS SCHVLTES NMOIN

Made by Hans Schultes II of Nuremberg, Germany between 1586-1603.

Should be circa 27mm. 8.78g

Yes it does. I have the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s. Buying used isn't too bad.
