I dont think this is my coin, which is not Ag and the weight is too low, 2,21g instad of 3,3g

There is a wide range of weight on those medieval vitals

Also there is from copper to silver

 

Numista only have one example

Try the catalog “Robert Tye”

 

It is the same coin.

I agree that this is your coin, though the weight is low. Billon coins vary a lot in silver content, and Numista says this one only has 4% silver, so it will look like copper, even though it may be listed some places as silver. 

 

I didn't find one listed in Zeno, but Goron/Goenka has a drawing matching your coin listed as coin number D166. It also reports a weight of 3.6 g, so I'm not sure why your coin is lower. I would recommend rechecking the weight of your coin. 

I have done some further research and I am now convinced, that you are right, thanks for your help
