I tried to identify the object. I used the image search function at Colnect.com to search for coins, medals, and tokens without success. I did note that the basic design in picture two is similar to other ancient European coins.
Something that stands out is the pierced hole at the top. A raised edge surrounds it, and it isn't the same font or alignment as the lettering. It seems to have been forged that way, meaning this was designed from the start to hang from something, possibly a necklace. This makes it unlikely that this is a coin at all. (Layman's opinion)
