German Coin has no date; can't seem to find in KM....need your help

Attached is a German coin that I got at my local coin shop. It was sold to me

pretty cheap and I didn't think much of it at the time. When I finally got around to

looking at it closely I noticed that it did not have a date and looked old. I can't seem

to find this coin in KM and I really would appreciate it if some of the experts on these

forums can help me identify the origins of this coin. Maybe the coin is from the early

90's or even earlier; but I am not sure. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank

you.

Well, if it's a Euro, it can't be too old. Have you looked at the edge?

 

Plain edge...no writing whatsoever. Does this coin look familiar at all to anyone? Thanks in advance.

 

Maybe it's a fantasy coin or a test coin that wasn't dated.

 

Not sure what that coin is, but I am curious as to how it was sold to you without you knowing it?

 

I make mass purchases at my LCS and when I quickly looked at it and I saw that it said 5 Euros...didn't pay attention to date...but if I can't find it then I am going to get money back for it. Thanks for everyone's input...if anyone knows where I could begin to start looking for this coin...it would be highly appreciated.
