Perhaps the reverse has been double-struck ?
[18mm / 1.3g / 0.6mm thick]
Either a person or place has AS in the lettering also?

Yes I think you are right. Can also see the Cross Pommée duplicated

Yes it is double struck and upsidedown on that side it is a church

Ah, yes - agreed - thanks
[DV / AS lettering]
Church above a Cross Pommée on one side, and a bishop holding a crozier on the other.
Also - possibly treble struck, not double, as three rows [orange] of dots?
German States › Cologne, Archbishopric of
There are some Denier coins from there that look similar.
German States › Osnabrück, Bishopric of - would be a second choice.

Archbishopric of Köln
NO - that is NOT the coin - but partly similar.
A part of the church - but no lettering - and no Cross Pommée.
Obverse: Bishop facing holding a crozier and a bible.
Could be a start …
May be a sarcophagus or a doorway where that cross is.
With a crozier in right hand, can not see if the left hand is
holding a scepter - or a bible. Though maybe that is what is directly in front.
Also - outside the beaded circle, could be some lettering?

This one I like - but still not the same
Deutschland - Mittelalter - Köln - Philipp von Heinsberg (1167-1191) -
AR Denar ND (c. 1180) Cologne (Hävernick 506)
- Obverse: Archbishop enthroned facing with crozier and book HITARC - EPICOPV
- Reverse: Church with two towers within walled enclosure ✠ EACOTONIA (PAI)CAI
Both designs similar
Both within an inner beaded circle
Both have lettering around outside
The church has a hatched tower, with an arched doorway below -
but not sure if a cross is in it.

That helpful lettering added to that picture
Now to see if any of that matches the mystery coin
Not sure - looks like EPC one side, and that AS the other.
Then again, as that is not the exact coin shown above,
then whatever it is may have different lettering anyway.
