It's some kind of token as the hole has been drilled into it

So, more than likely this (coin) was made into a love token a long time ago then

Thats what makes them better than a uncirc coin of the same date in my opinion. Its the time & effort & craftmanship which impresses me. Most likely the reverse is the Initials of the one he/she made it for (or a combination of the two/ or his/her own Initials).

With the "83" on the coin, I would speculate that it was a seated dime, turned into
a token in 1883. I like those old love tokens. They can get quite fancy.

very popular in the 1880s

the 83 is possibly the year they designed
it and gave it to their significant other.
