Solid gold?
Rather crudely cast...
And there's that curious triangle hole at the bottom...
Petal or leaf from a brooch?

As my one armed brother was fond of saying, "I'm stumped". His sense of humor was a little warped. I miss him.

Scrap gold used for cash? It has a rough cut/filed edge on the spoon like lip. Maybe thumb piece off a flintlock with the monogram wore off? Repurposed native ear ring?

I appreciate the creative guesses, my gut is that it is either part of a wax seal or a locket.

Certainly possible, definitely crudely cast old gold

I
s it me or when i zoom in on the top side i see a plant starting from bottom right and spreading out towards the top. and above the hole 2 capitol A's one above the other with possible smaller letters after them. While i'm at it i see a horizontal sword, pommel left, guard up in upper part of bush/plant. probably all scratches but i got plenty of time lately.
