Is anybody familiar with Rechenpfennige / Schulpfennige struck (hammered?) in Nuremberg in the 16th century? Does anybody own this book? Rechenpfennige. Band 1: Nürnberg. Signierte und zuweisbare Gepräge. 1. Lieferung: Die Familien Schultes, Koch und Krauwinckel., Staatliche Münzsammlung München (Hrsg.), bearbeitet v. Franz Stalzer. @Seattlite86
I don't know anything about these, but you've piqued my curiosity, @micbraun! Let me know what you find out! I've developed a mild case of interest in coinage from particular German cities.
It may be a reprint. I see Abe Books has several sellers offering it.

Here is my poor example, bought for fifty cents from a flea market junk box. Took me years to discover it was a jeton made by Hanns Krauwinkel II in Nuremburg (1586-1635). The motto, in Early New High German, reads "GOTES REICH BLIBT EWICK" ("God's kingdom is eternal.")
Seems common. Google image searched alphabet jeton, this looks useful http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php?topic=26251.0 Very cool old token. Not sure if you are looking for info on a specific variety, but if so I hope someone has the details
