Hi ! Too bad may be that I've only just seen your post. Your jeton is an unusual one, obtained by lamination (first use of such mills). This is a sort of a metal banknote. No value on it; just the name of the banker who guarantees its value. Stolen, it has no longer any value. The user was the Bank of Lombardy (the three crowns and lily flowers on the reverse side), that is, the pope's bank at a time it still had heavy commercial interests in Europe through exempted (i.e. under direct papal orders) monasteries. The metal is a copper alloy, indeed. A very pure brass, 10% Zn; no Sn at all.
