that looks to be tin;
which would melt under a welding flame...
solder maybe, but again I would think that might be too much heat for the tin coin...

maybe it's silver?

This has become very silly, and extremely enjoyable because of that. But now I really need to know why, or I won't sleep.

Then my wife will beat me.

TELL US WHY?

It is fairly common to find coins from this part of the world (southeast asia) welded or soldered together into jewellery. I assume that is what has happened in this case.
