    well, its not a coin and since this isn't a forum named "scrap metal talk" I am guessing we may not be much help but i guess you never know.

    Yes that is actually the worlds smallest canoe. The tiny people of mesapotamia used to frequent them down the Euphrates.

    It looks like a cutting tool for woodworking on a lathe.

    No idea what it is. If you think it may be real gold take it to one of the local jewelers buying old gold and see what they say.

    And welcome to Coin Talk!

    Just from the photos I would say its not a coin. To be a coin, there was to be issuing authority and guarantee. An object with no writing on it by definition is not a coin. From the reverse, I am guessing maybe it was a broach and missing the pin.

    Maybe some piece of equipment or a decoration that fell off of a ship? If you don't think it's gold what do you think it is - brass?
