    Jeton of Hans Krauwinckel the Second. Known as a Rose/Orb jeton.

    Obverse reads: "HANNS KRAVWINCKEL IN NVR" which is essentially "Hans Krauwinckel in Nuremberg."

    Reverse reads: "GOTES SEGEN MACHT REICH" which can be translated as "God's blessing makes one rich."

    This particular type was issued between 1586 and 1635 and made of brass.

    It is in a fairly poor condition so I could see it selling for about $5.

    Hope this helps.
