I don't know either but an image of both sides will help when the right person here comes along.
It does look like it is a yellow "metal" applied over copper, so it mat be a fake from the era of the coin it was imitating. The yellow is wearing away from the high points of the "coin".
How did you come across this one?

Perhaps an 8 Escudos from Peru?

Thank you ! I have had this for years in a old chest. Can't remember where it came from but I just held onto it.
