Hello.
I recently got this coin into my hands, but didn’t find data anywhere. Can someone help me with this?

This is based on very little expertise and some lucky searches, but it might be a Swiss pattern coin or some kind of promotional token (no idea which).
The engraver/manufacturer seems to be this one:

It resembles this 10 Franc coin, though yours is obviously not nearly heavy enough to be gold and lack the country name:

I know it's nothing conclusive, but maybe these can get you headed in the right direction. Or someone with more Swiss knowledge might have the answer.

Huguenin in Le Locle Switzerland is a mint / medal maker and this object has the design of the
10 Goldfranken coins but I am not sure if this is a reproduction/play money and made by them or somebody else.

here are a variety of Huguenin products from past auctions.

there is a similar item in Numista under exonomia

I guess an advertisement or sample of the companies capabilities.

Daniel M. Fischbacher's book
"Unser Goldvreneli" (2007) brings on page 80 a bad picture but an accurate info of this "Spielgeld" under his # F56D :
