Can anyone identify this? Maybe from Eastern Europe.

I don't think it's Vienna. Vienna's has a cross in the shield, not a diagonal bar.

correct, but I was thinking of the mint mark for Vienna.
A little search confirms that it is not Vienna

  I knew I had seen it asked about before - that topic from last month also had one. Still not sure what it is. Though on there are two links for the same token, the first of which goes to the section  Tokens * Switzerland, if that helps.  :)

EDIT 8th June: I have seen this on eBay ...
