I can't seem to find anything about this coin, it is clearly not nickel brass and is lighter (5 grams) compared to the 6.8g for the nickel brass. I wonder if it is some kind of counterfeit because of the weight and details like the edge with what looks like excess molding material.

Cast in tin solder I guess. possibly an exercise in the art of mold making and metal casting.
