  This doesn't look unfamiliar. I think it's a puzzle of some sort.

  Looks like it might have been a square block of aluminum at some point in time.

  The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

  I'm guessing it's meant to be a toy - a novelty spinner.

  Now I know where I saw this. I think there was one in the YN auction at the ANA Summer Seminar in 2018. It is a puzzle box of sorts.

  My WAG is magician’s prop.
  Check and see if the coin is magnetic or attracts a magnet.

  @Messydesk is right - it's called a YOT puzzle:
