I'm not an expert but it looks like new year lucky token (austria) but I cant find the exact same, several versions (also youres has no letters?). I figured out that you can find similar coins/tokens by searching with photo option on chrome. Take a photo of your token and search (adjust photo to certain detail on your token if results are not accurate). Also take my reply with a grain of salt, I just wanted to see if I can find your coin/token :).

Hello! Who are you?! (A name,please,would be nice!
) What you have is,by no means,a COIN! It is a medal or a token. As it has no legends at all on both sides,it is impossible to find out WHO and WHEN exactly minted/issued it.
Anyhow,by the design,it doesn't seem very old (I may say,the 20-th. century). But,for sure it is A MEDAL of:
* the chimney sweeps (for ''good luck'' or to honour their work).
* it may also be considered a religious medal(somehow) as it depicts FOR SURE the Saint Patron of chimney sweeps & firefighters.

On one medal's sides,we see Saint Florian (in roman officer uniform) pouring water on a house in fire.

Dear requester, Toni & Andi -- Very neat token. Rummaging around the Internet, I was surprised how many "Glucksbringer" "Chimney Sweep" tokens are out there. But, like you, I could not find an exact match to the one requested. Here are a bunch of reverses, but none match perfectly:
The requested token looks very modern, probably manufactured in brass within the past 10 years. As such, it carries low value. I'd guess $2 or $3 US dollars.

Ah. Success. I found this using "glucksbringer" and "florian"
