Got this coin in a bulk lot I bought recently, and it caught my eye. No idea if it's even real but i would appreciate any information that could be given. Thank you.

The weight is 0.64g, Diameter is aprox 1.8cm.

Welcome to Numista!

 

Most likely a “belly dancer token,” imitating an Ottoman coin, used as jewelry.
