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?

Made a troll post with them and then ignored the whole thread? Sounds pretty terrible to me...

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.

Judging from the orange colour, it seems likely that the above coin may have been a ground find, or had otherwise picked up environment corrosion, which has been cleaned off with acid, or perhaps electrolysis.
The scratches may have been some attempt at mechanically cleaning the corrosion off before the acid was applied. Either way, I don't think it was a pristine coin beforehand.
