It appears purely decorative, and may have been part of jewelry? The "script" doesn't look like a real language.

Among Arabic countries, Morocco used the five-pointed star on its coins. Still I tend to agree that this not a real coin, and not even an imitation of a coin.

The "swirly" side is loosely based on an Ottoman toughra, but the "star" side is a fantasy. Here is a similar example.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

OK I find what is this two...!
Is jewellery "coin" called PENEZ for poor people and wedding ceremonies. The form is like the gold coins of Mahmud II (1259-1260AH).
It's brass imitations of othoman coin
In Greece we called "flouria" but not from this metal (gold most times)
