There's enough dings that it looks like an ordinary coin that was plated. If the color is really gold, I could see it as a q&d test for gold planting..
Potentially one that toned up in a Dansco, although yours looks a little shiny for that. I've got one with Dansco golden toning.
One of those TV coin shows was selling rolls of the 2004 Westward Journey nickels back then that were all Gold Plated. Probably some of them got spent and into circulation
