    Welcome to CT.
    Looking at the coin I would say India but I'm far from an expert on world coins.
    Also I would like to mention when sharing photos you have 2 choices:
    1 thumb nail ( which you chose)
    2 Full image it's better to use full image.

    Its not a coin, but a Temple Token. Made to be bought and given to a temple as an offering. The elephant god is Ganesh, not sure of the other one.

    It may be a silver bullion piece made by a private firm in India. Silver is a very big deal there.

    Looks like silver,does SKR mean silver in India?and the 999 I'm thinking stands for .999 fine silver.
