It's a coin holder made to resemble a pocket watch or compact.
Here's a vintage one I have and a picture of a modern keychain one.

Crazy my hunting buddy just found one of these full of coins

Mine had coins in it too...
But my Aunt gave it to me and the coins were newer ones.
Still a very cool find and I don't think there are many found.

Going back years they often carried a gold coin or 2, so a lady on a night out had no need for a purse.
