What is this coin or token?
I found that it could be a modern token 1898 5 lire 10.5 mm gold but What does it mean?
Is it a true coin? Is it a commemorative token resembling a coin of 1898?
Thank you for the help

It looks like it may be a token resembling this coin:

The original coin was done in silver, and it is worth quite a bit ($135-450). I don't see one listed in Krause made in gold.
