    Looks Judaic to me (modern)

    Maybe given away as a token from a local Synagogue?

    I don't think it's a coin. That's all I can tell you.

    I also believe it to be an Israel token/ medal the writting looks to be Hebrew.

    It's actually in Farsi (Persian), it is a token for the Persian New Year, Nowruz. The inscription on both sides reads "Mubarak Bad" (Happy New Year)
