Identify this please?

Jmis

Hi folks,

Could I get some help identifying this coin please, a friend is asking and I have no idea? I don’t know if It’s ancient or some type of token?

Thank you

Now that is something I've never seen. If it is not some kind of replica or fantasy, I cannot wait to see what country issued it!

Big help, thanks!

Yeah, afraid that really looks like a "souvenir" type thing from a renaissance fair.

It's not a coin - no denomination, no issuing authority, etc. It's not likely an official medal - the fake patina, lack of artist signature, etc. It's not historic - the horse rider might play loosely at traditional styles, but it isn't representative of any actual historical styles. And, just stylistically, that screams trinket - the gibberish letters on top, the pattern on back not seemingly representative of anything at all.

Thank you for the information, I’ll pass it along to my friend.

Looks cast. The edge might confirm that.

Size and weight might also help.
