Check out the date to the left of center! How's your math . . . okay, okay I'll do it for you - 304 years old . . .
It's thick gnarly chain I love, love, love. The coin is pretty true-to-size in the pictures above - a substantial size. Not sure how much it's worth - looked around on line a little to try and find some info but no luck . . . 
I went shopping today down south. I bought myself a few new things! Novel! Over the years I've given up shopping and such to clothe and feed {7} kids! Therefore, I was always put last in line in the 'let's go shopping' program! After so many years of 'doing without', it's actually hard to get back into it - really! I bought a cute necklace from Target (pretty cheap) and admired it because of it's shinny silver graduated balls clustered together on a chain! It's new and shiny and sparkly.
It got me thinking of the necklaces I have in my jewelry case. I got out one, in particular, that's always been a favorite of mine! When I was about {7} years old a German friend of my mother invited us over to her house. Four things I remember - her German shepherd dog, her thick German accent, her delicious German pastry we ate and a beautiful German coin necklace she gave me! She didn't have any children - so she wanted to give me something to remember her. I've never forgotten her - Mitzi was her name. I laid the two necklaces side-by-side and the heavy, thick-chained coin necklace is still my favorite!

Wow..what a sweet post. We have several German treasures as well, since that's where Kenny's Dad was born & raised. That one special necklace.
Berta, my husband found this on a coinarchive site and a coin that was auctioned matching the coin you have for Price realized: 240 EUR (approx. 377 U.S. Dollars as of the auction date). The website he found it at was http://www.coinarchives.com
Hope this helps you.
