Hello! I have a few coins that I've collected over the years and know where all of them are from except one. Can anyone help with identifying it? Thanks in advance!

Israel. Or to better transliterate, Yisroel. The word under the 1 is shalom.

Cool.

And only hold coins by the edges....
This is in the design and style of an Israeli 1 agorah coin from the 1960s, but it is not in fact a coin; it is a privately produced medal, or perhaps a token. Instead of "1 agorah" with the date, it simply says "1 shalom" and no date. I have seen them posted on the forums before but I don't think I ever saw a definitive reason for their existence. "Shalom" is not just a Hebrew greeting, it literally means "peace"; it is possible it was made and distributed for the 1979 Peace Treaty with Egypt.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
