    Not sure It is a coin. But since it has Swastikas on the back Id say its from somewhere in Asia. Most likely India. Swastikas were once used as peace and goodluck before being used by the Nazis.

    Hard to tell from the photos. My first guess would be someone crafting on a host coin, ala hobo nickels. If you post a high quality pic maybe we could help more.

    Just a guess here but I'm thinking Indian or Tibetan. I'm thinking that what you show as the obverse (first pic) is a Buddha and the swastika is on the reverse.

    You sometimes swastikas offset like that on Indian praratarajas.

    That's exactly what I was thinking, but someone says it cant be from India. Not sure what the reason why is...

    Those triangles almost look like mountains. And if they are mountains, im sure it's the Himalayas, which would make sense with the swastikas and buddha. I Say its from that area, but I don't think it's a coin.

    I agree with you - it may be a good luck charm or talisman.
