I took a chance on it in an online auction. It was only $2 and although not a token, it looks really cool. Took me just a few minutes to find out what it is, and the answer surprised me. 5.49 g; 20.3 mm X 2.45 mm.

Pretty cool wick knob @hon. This would be a welcome addition to the "Things That Aren't Actually Coins, But Kinda Look Like They Could Be" thread:

Hondo, are those lumps on your token 'melting' spots?
