    Looks like a Kabbala token or medal.

    Certainly. I see the Jewish alphabet.

    Not a coin, but occult charm, most likely for healing, or luck in general, or protection from the evil. The design and writings are taken from medieval Kabbalistic text, so jlblonde got it right.

    No idea what it says, although it is Hebrew without any doubt. Whoever designed this token originally probably was unable to read the words and give proper spacing. The words that can be read are "David" and the "forbidden" God's name "Jehova" with spelling mistake, also the word "God" is with a spelling mistake. The words are clearly wrong.

    I would assume it no longer represents original Kabbalah text, so even if you believe in that quack stuff its not going to do anything.

    I wonder if it's silver.

    I once had a Masonic 33 degree medal and it was silver, circa 1932.
