Hacienda tokens is a fascinating area in Mexican Numismatics. Here's an article on the subject from the ANS with some plates: numismatics.org/digitallibrary/ark:/53695/nnan69119 I don't believe yours is listed there based on a cursory search of the page.
This page here shows an earlier "Hacienda del Toro" token attributed to Zacatecas: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/token-1824-zacatecas-cuarto-hacienda-499529512
This page here (DNE Coins - dnecoins.com/MexCivic.asp ) has one matching yours with a description "45820 Mexico Municipal Suspicious Hacienda del Toro Copper, approx 37mm across, I strongly believe this to be a modern fake, plain edge,"Fabric" not right for this type of coin to me, bull 1/4 1851 / HACIENDA DEL TORO"
