The coin is undecipherable to me. In my admitted ignorance, I do not see any indication of a date or a denomination. The hole indicates it was worn, probably on clothing. I don't know the reason for the center hole. The weight is quite light, which indicates it may be a fantasy coin. These are often produced in quantity for use at weddings.
