The token itself is a replica of a real coin. The original is from 1763, but I'm willing to bet that this token is from much later. The token isn't actually valuable (unless you find a person looking for that exact thing for some reason). Based on the current price of copper (and assuming that the composition is pure copper), it's worth about $0.04.
Very simple, read what's written on it and then come to the conclusion that this is by no chance in hell a thaler coin also there already exists a real version of it (see link provided by previous poster).
Cita: "PaulAl"Again. Where is your information based on? How do you know for sure?
I'm not sure what information you're questioning here. The pictures that you've included are clearly not the original coin (a 1763 Nurnberg Thaler that, according to luca biondi's information does have some real value). You yourself identify it as a token and the pictures appear to match the link that you yourself provided. There is no information anywhere to indicate that this token, a crude approximation of an actual coin, possesses any kind of collectible value. There is no absolute certainty about this. There is no absolute certainty about the value of anything until someone actually pays money for it. It's not impossible that there might be a specific collector somewhere in the world who would be willing to pay a premium for it, but that's true of literally any collectible item in existence. Without that person making an appearance in this thread, it's probably safe to conclude that the likely value of this token is the same as the likely value of nearly all tokens in the world: next to nothing. The $0.04 amount was derived from the current price for copper per gram multiplied by the listed weight of the token.
This is just how things are for tokens (and indeed for many common coins). Just looking/being possibly old or interesting doesn't indicate value.

Likely that its a gaming token (Spielgeld) from the later 19th century.

I think I remember seeing this piece in a book on Spielgeld.
Some famous coin designs have been reused.
The minting technologies used to make your piece have only been around since 1840 or so.
The diameter could also fit with Spielgeld.
