Medallion? Is it depicting the Chinese year/calendar? That's what first hit me. Characters don't look right tho, like a trinket picked up at Chinese restaurant/shop made in shape of coin. Will wait for the "real" answer from the pros.!

This is a very interesting plate. Each side has 5 Chinese words and they can form 5 different meaningful sentences depending on where you start.

Looks like a charm rather than a coin to me. Is that the remnant of a loop at roughly three o'clock on both pics

The part that looks like a loop appears to be scraped metal, not a loop, piece sounds silver when dropped

Ok good. If it is silver then it will have some intrinsic value. It still looks like a charm to me.
