    It's a medallion with an image of a castle.
    Any markings? Could be silver.

    On the contrary, it is likely a coin from the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg like the one below.

    Cool.
    Then the back and rim were altered smoothed and a loop was added. Turned into a medallion.

    I agree with Hamburg.
    Here's my 1841 billon (0.375) schilling for comparison
    And for good measure here's a 1726 one

    It’s definitely the castle from the Hamburg coins
