Small Gold Coin

[Lasercats]

Pretty sure whatever this is, the hole wasn't originally in it since it cuts off some lettering, so it was most likely punched into the coin and put on a necklace or some sort of jewelry.
If anyone has any idea about who is on the coin, what it says, where it is from, if it is gold, and if it is even a coin please let me know.

So there is a bust on both sides?

there is really only one side relic hunter, the back is just an imprint of the front.

look at a 1876 gold 10 Greek drachma, although it isn't a bust on both sides.Very hard to make out your pics because of glare from holder plastic.

Based on the construction, maybe it was a charm from a bracelet? The lettering lacks detail, although it it shows no signs of wear.

Are you sure it's gold? It looks like one of the "coins" from a belly dancers skirt :

Suggestion: Take it out of the plastic folder, reshoot and post close up pics of both sides.
Thanks,
Don.

Good idea NOLA Ken, but IMO it isn't big enough.

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

It looks like rust on edges I think it was a coin pressed from tin or something like that type of metal.IMO

 

[Lasercats]

I think it might be dirt (I haven't washed it since finding it)

Looks like a very thin charm or something similar.

Looks like a poor replica (obverse) of this coin:
