They call it a ducat.  If is a ducat, then it is a coin and not a token.

Yeah, I know. That is why I am confused. It has no denomination.

All or most of the 1 Ducat coins that I have seen or seen photos of, do not have a denomination on them. Without denomination, it is accepted as "one" Ducat.  The higher denomination Ducats do have their denomination on them ..

Many coronation medals were minted in modules of common coins. They were put into circulation in many city halls.

Tokens/coins? I think these coronation medals issued for circulation are coins and must be in their country section in Numista catalog.

It is a half lira of the coronation, minted in Milan 1838, for Ferdinando I.

Thanks! So it is a coin, right? If so, should I add it to Numista and is there KM number maybe?

Looks like a medal (token) from Lombardy-Venetia. Would list it as a token

I've just checked, it is called "half lira of the coronation" but it is a token that was given to the people in Milano 1838.
Other similar coniation are the lira, the zecchino (gold) and the double zecchino, all called of the coronation

Here it is, a Coronation medal. http://numismatica-italiana.lamoneta.it/moneta/W-F1MI/1
It is also listed in the Gigante catalogs as a circulating medal
