    That might be a religious token of some sort related to the Rosary.

    I'm not sure, but the design reminds me of a Rosary Ring.

    I wonder if the World Coin forum might be of better assistance.

    Two-headed cent?

    The cent is there for a size reference.
    It might be play money or a game marker.

    It’s a Franklin Mint pattern. ;)

    It's just dots in the middle. It's definitely made of metal but a magnet won't stick to it.

    If it is very light I'd guess aluminum. Otherwise, zinc or lead.

    Could the "F + M" be referring to the Free Masons? :*

    Clothier guesses "facsimile money", but I think Morris and Foster is right on - thanks @philographer !

    Y'all are some serious coin collecters. I might be in the wrong place. Although I'm learning a lot.
