I found this metal detecting. I am hoping it's an old or ancient coin. Can anyone help me?

@BS01, first welcome to CCF. Second, I have requested that the mods move your post to a separate thread so that the right eyeballs see it and (hopefully) help you with identification. A couple questions/requests: can you please post the size and weight? Does it feel soft like lead? In which state of the US was it dug? Also, please post a pic of the back, even if it seems to be featureless. Thx!

Since you are asking about a different coin, I split your post from that other thread and moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention.

I little more information might help. Was this found in the US or another country? What is the size and weight (mm & grams)? Is there also a design on the other size?

It does not look like any coin that I am familiar with. I would guess a piece of ornamental metalwork.

I agree, it is a decorative plate that fell off of something.

The fallus symbol is used in Bhutan.
Picture of the other side would be nice
