Strange coin (token) which I can't find anywhere

It's a coin or token with diam. approx. 44.1mm. Material is (I think) tin.
What is it and has it any value?
It is a Nuremberg Jeton/medal

A correction for the reverse side: HEILEGE VNS IN DEINER WARHEIT and in the exergue: AVG.CONF.MEMORIA-SECVNDVM REPITITA-A.MDCCXXX. On the line below the figures is: DOCKLER, J.

This medal commemorates the bicentennial of the Augsburg Confession in 1730. The obverse has the busts of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon (last H omitted on the medal). The reverse has 'seven female figures of royalty, kneeling and praying before a burning sacrifice upon an altar, the smoke frames rays emanating from the triune God in clouds, by each figure - a crown on the floor, near each figure - the shield of their city or state'.

Daniel? Siegmund Dockler, Junior, was a goldsmith, die engraver and medallist in Nuremberg who died in 1753.

In silver, the medal sells for around $160 to 400 in average condition:

I could not find a sale for your coin in tin.
Correct. I was wrong in my search...
Good work!
Could it be aluminium?

Great work en lot of Thanks.

It’s a little flexible an it’s heavier then aluminium, that’s why I think its tin.

​It’s a little flexible an it’s heavier then aluminium, that’s why I think its tin.
​That definition makes me think of lead rather than tin, and the look of the medal seems to back my suggestion up.
No, it's not that flexible like lead unless it's an alloy.
Tin/pewter very commonly used on older german medal.
usually for the most common medals

​Ah, that makes sense, thank you!

I was thinking of lead used in late 19th and early 20th century medallions.
