Help identifying a coin!

Ryou H:
Hello.
Need help to identify this ancient coin.
It seems like it could be from Kiev Rus', but not sure.

Jan P:
I do not believe in Kiev Rus for this coin  :-\. To my opinion rather one of the Bishop cities of North Germany, if not feudal France  ::).

Jan P:
Hello Ryou H,

I think we have your coin here:
A Pfennig of the German Abbey of Corvey, with on the obverse: the abbot and on the reverse: the head of Saint Vitus.
Struck under Heinrich III von Homburg (1272-1306).
See underneath:

Oh, thank you very much!

A very striking image.  I had to google St. Vitus and it turns out that he was usually depicted with long curly blonde hair....
