 Does not look like gold - more silver if anything. 

What is the diameter? 

Prefer better pictures - without too much background. 

 I did what I could … 

 

 I guess it is one-sided, as that first image is a mirror of the second - 

with the date being back-to-front especially. Looks more like a token.

It looked like a token to me too.

Perhaps some sort of weightlifting competition token?

weight, diameter?

 

I think its a bottle cap.

So brother, can you confirm what is this?? Is it a coin, or token or bottle cap? I also got a similar coin but is yellow in colour. Just looks like Gold.

It's a clearly a bracteate, one sided and struck on paper thin metal. No hint of what it is other than it's not a coin
