this is perhaps something to do with Greenland. The obverse has a female figure (queen of Denmark?) and the reverse ha a polar bear. It is small bras, measures 16.3 mm and weighs 2.61 grams.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Someone has popped the aluminium bronze center out of a bi-metallic Canadian two dollar coin

Ha! Well done with this attribution @mach. I'll get this thread over to the Canadian subforum. I'm interested to see if this is something that is commonly found.

Yes, people pop them out and, usually, put them back 180 degrees out or put the Obv bust into the Rev legend. I think, on another site, there was a "how to" on Facebook or UTube. Not worth much and relatively easy to do with heat/cold on the relative parts. They are struck with the core inside the outer ring, so 90, 180 or 360 doesn't work, since they can't come from the mint that way. That's Elizabeth on the bust.
