Thank you Roy! The legends on the date side match but the other side does not seem to... so it is a token from

not quite sure where to enter it in Numista so I did not...
Perak, 1 keping 1835 KM# 4



So it has a real KM number, although it says "token" there too. But sometimes the border between a coin and a token is very thin, especially with older coins. Like it deserves a place in the SCWC, I would enter it in the coin sector.

This is why collecting south east Asian coins annoy me. The difference between coin and token is very thin. Just like Persian civic copper coins.
