Size: 20mm (0.79 inch) Weight: 0.82 grams. Obverse: IOH:LAUER RECHE PFENING * Reverse: VENUS Made by the Lauer firm between 1815-1835 (Cited from: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/reche-pfening-minerva.50915/) It is a Nurnberg rechenpfennig (reckoning penny / counting token). Probably made by Johann Jakob (1806-1865) or another member of his family as it was a family of counter makers that include Ernest Ludwig Sigmund Lauer (1783-1833) and Ludwig Christian Lauer (1842-1873). They produced several counters, including a series with Roman and Greek themes (Venus, Minerva, Alexander The Great) and this is one of them. The tokens are listed in Michael Mitchiner's work on Jetons, Medalets & Tokens Vol 1 The Medieval Pd. & Nuremberg. As the use of these tokens diminished so did the makers. In 1783 there were still 12 masters making counting Pfennigs. In 1830 there were 7. In 1843 it was only one. By lack of sales, Ludwig Christian Lauer was forced to stop production and died in 1873.
