    By all means I'm not into these at all but think I recognize this as India language and that's the Tash-Ma-Hal on the obverse.

    Not my series or language but looks a bit like Iran and IMO not the Taj Mahal.

    I can not find this coin listed under Iran as an official coin.
    The numbers look like "2536" which was the "Imperial Year" under the Shah (2536 was CE 1977).
    It may be an imitation.

    :)

    I don't think its gold looks like a modern token piece.Just because something looks gold doesn't mean it is but great to question that as a newcomer.

    I also didn't think it was gold. Gold is very dense and 4 grams is prob the size of a dime or smaller. Photo this coin next to a dime for comparison. If this coin is much larger (even though thin) it's prob some lighter metal.

    Yes after more careful inspection it does appear to be a token

    The building on the token is the shrine of imam Reza in Iran.
