need help with a lady liberty ??

[DigIron2]

Found this relic some years back, never really knew what it is.I think it is brass,but maybe copper,It is very thinly constructed and very light.It has 13 stars and a Lady Liberty head protruding out the obverse in a almost 3d fashion and a hallow mold indention on the reverse.I am hoping to find out its use,and if possible its age.

I would have thought it was a Barber coin Pushed, "Pop out coin" But it doesn't look silver

is there any sign of writing on the back ? ?

Definitely made into a Key or watch Fob, but hard to say if it' a Foreign coin,
Or token

Yea I can only guess but the Type of Fob loop & the fact barbers seem to be
the most common US coin used, I'd guess turn of the century

Here's a few pics of similar ones. The smaller pic was on Ebay, but the item was no longer available. The larger pic was on another MD site that came up when I Googled.

Neat find

Typical Lady Liberty design for "art nouveau" – Isn't based on any coinage.
