It's not a coin. It's a token or a test strike. Likely a token. Made of lead I'm sure and it's origin can probably be narrowed down by comparing the double headed eagle with heraldic emblems of European origin from the 1500's. Not much help I know, but it's a place to start. Good luck, that's an interesting one there.

Well done Rick! That must have taken some time find. I've collected foreign coins for about 45 years and never run across one of these before.

Actually only took a couple of minutes. I've been a "coinguy" too for about 35+ years fairly seriously.
Like you suggested european, the double headed "chicken" is usually Austria, finland, russia, and Germany. I admit I was lucky it was not german, they have so many individual states that their coins fills half the Krause catalogs. I would not have even tried.
