Hi, I found this a while back and haven't been able to figure out what exactly it is. I found some Turkish/Ottoman Empire ones online that look similar.  The coin is about 0.3g and is 1.5cm in diameter. My current assumption is that the coin is gold, as the metal seems fairly soft, but haven't been able to test it. Thanks in advance.

With a year of 132?  Looks like a belly dancer token imitating this:  N#36944 Also probably brass not gold.

Much probably just a belly dancer token

I think if it were brass it would've been much more tarnished. This might actually be gold. I'd get it tested. Although at 0.3g, it'd be worth about $20

I tested it, and it is brass, not gold. Thanks for all the help.
