Iran, New Year token I think. Or if not, wedding token. Sorry to be vague but working from an Android tablet that's not connected to my digital library.

Good call @alganbagerap! In reviewing some previous CCF threads (using the search terms IRAN WEDDING TOKEN), I found a link to this website, which shows Iranian wedding tokens with similar design elements to your piece:

Wedding token.

From what I have seen, the ones with the mirrors tend to be wedding tokens. Also, if there is no date, it is more than likely a wedding token; if there is a date, it is more than likely a New Year's token. I would assume the reason for including a date on the New Year's ones is because they commemorate a specific year, while the wedding tokens are just generic enough for any wedding. Now, there are a lot of different type of these tokens, so of course, there may be some exceptions. But those have just been my observations.
