This was answered 12 years ago. It's not a coin, a medal or a token. It is a decoration that was attached to a belt or purse made in the 1960s...
It is still post mint damage. There is no term post mint error. These coins have no additional value.
I lean toward the improper annealing scenario . I guess I should have adde that:-)
tough to be sure from this image but it has a better than 50% chance that it is. I lean toward the possibility as it looks right when I magnify...

die deterioration....sorry about the typo
