Anyone could help me with this ? token ? medal ? 

 

Germany - silver - Schalksmühle Westfalen 986

 

 11 gram 

 26 mm

 

Help with what in particular? It's a souvenir from Schalksmühle. Such objects were quite popular in the 70s and 80s and many cities made them. Some, like this one out of silver (Ag .986).

help with  what at identification forum ? let me think…

 

If I had found any information here on Numista catalogue or on Google, I wouldn't have asked for help

Hm the problem here is that it's cheap exonumia with everything to know about it written on the object itself. 

99 out of a 100 times there will be no documentation about it anywhere outside maybe a dusty old brochure in some tourist info stand burned down decades ago, if you are lucky.

The coat of arms was granted on 21st July 1970 when two districts were merged.

Mill wheel at the top which was for Schalksmuhle the bottom three leaf cluster is supposed to be european holly for Hulsheid. The chequered part in the middle (in flags etc is depicted as red and white) was to represent the County of Mark.

The church is the Erloserkirche seen in the top photo of this link with the white building to the right which is also on your item.
