    Could it be a jeton? Do you see a date on it?

    I don't see a date so I too thought a jeton. Unfortunately that makes identifying it even tougher.

    This one looks pretty close:

    If it's a match, then you have a Swiss Kreuzer from 1630 - 1640.

    Image appears on this site, labeled "NEUCHATEL , HENRICH II VON ORLEANS LONGUEVILLE 1595-1663" (second coin down on the page):
    http://www.rhinocoins.com/swiss/neuc8.html

    The site lists it as an R3 or 'Scarce.'

    The Latin reads: H DG COM SV NOVICA (obverse) OCVLI DOM SVPE IVSTOS (reverse) - which also appears to match the posted coin.
