    Like nothing I've seen either. At first I thought that might be a shell, but the reverse appears to be the same and I couldn't find images with double shells.
    I think you've stumped the board!

    There is a part of me that wonders if it might be a medieval pilgrim’s badge. Many of them were in the shape of a scallop shell. I didn’t find anything online quite like this one though

    I'm thinking the first image is a star, like an 8 pointed star. But the reverse suggests a shell.

    I'm with pilgrim's badge/token. I don't know where you do your MD-ing, but I get a Camino de Santiago de Compostela vibe from this one...

    I have seen a few double shell coins, including this cast one. This does not ID the coin though.
