 A shopping trolley token it was made into. 

So that it could be added to a keychain and would 

always be available rather than spent.

 That was an actual coin [having not seen the other side] privately drilled. 

These may be made on purpose with a hole >

The other side is just a regular french coin

I've assumed it was used as a keychain
