This coin I have had for a while and just coming back to looking at it. I looked at numista but couldn't find the coin so I may need to add it.
Weight: 0.84g,
Diameter: 19mm

It could also be some sort of charm-like coin in the form of a coin perhaps?

Looks like a crummy Yung Cheng 1723-35.
Imitation?
More info sure to follow.

Obverse: Yongzheng Tongbao
Reverse: Boo-fu

Whether a genuine coin exists with that obverse/reverse I can't tell you.

This looks machine-struck, rather than cast. I'd suspect a replica.

I'll go along with -fu as it is the closest match
It's a stretch for me to find it written in that style.
So if that style is written into google translate, fu isn't the result.
YZ-TB is obvious.
So is Boo
But Fu is in a hand foreign to me.

Very Good!
I knew I stumbled over that style Fu before.
In the back of my mind, I thought I've seen it somewhere.
