Hello everyone. I came across this coin/ token that appears to have the same obverse and reverse. Haven't been able to find any sources that show mine exactly, but the closest examples are tokens from Iran.

 

Hope someone can help me identify this.

Yes those were the closest examples I've found so far too. I'll keep looking to see if I can find one that matches mine closer. Thanks :)

Did some more looking and found it, although there is almost no information on this token.

 

N#391238

 

If anyone has information on the history or uses, it would be great.

Zeno doesn't differentiate "new year" and “wedding” tokens cause مبارک باد means “congratulate” in persian,
