Netherlands coin

Hi,

Asking for more information about it ? KM# , mintage, etc. Thank you.

 Samuel - I don't think it will have a KM# number.
Those are for coins, which yours is not. As it has no country or denomination.

That said, I (or other members of course) will still try to find out more about it.  

  Lettering I think is -
Obverse: PRO ARIS ET FOCIS        [Translation: "For altar and hearth"]
Reverse: GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO 1739

  Alternative obverse translations -
(for the sake of, or defense of, religion and home) or (for hearth and home).
  Your title of Netherlands may well be correct, and Utrecht appears in searches.
There was a coin book ("Selectus Diploma tum et Numismatum Scotiae Thesaurus", a splendid folio volume) in 1739, and a 200-year anniversay thereof 1739-1939 which may be when it was made.

   Descriptions -
Obverse: 'Lion rampant on pavement; his left paw rests on shield'  'oval shield'
  'the shield is surrounded by flowering garland'  '... holding in his dexter paw a sword Argent'
  'a sword erect, hilted and pommelled'
Reverse: 'Within ornamental sixfoil compartment'

  All above are guesses / quotes - and I know you didn't ask to find out all the information that I write ! Hope someone else can find something. What size is it ?

Thanks for your input, ZAC.    What you wrote make sense to me. I interpretted it from Netherlands just because of the lion. This 'coin" has 30mm diameter and its weight about 5 grams.

All that I can say is that this coin it's not dutch. I know then all!

I am almost 100% certain it is a Swiss Cantons coin, from the canton of Zurich.  Aside from the wording, it is exactly like this:

Removed: irrelevant

Again, I'm now 100% certain this is a coin (or token) from Zurich, either of the 1/2 Thaler variety, or modeled thereon:

Now, I can probably say it is a Swiss Zürich shooting medal as tewcd said.
