Hey guys, so I've been trying to find out where this coin/token is from but I've had no luck yet. There is no writing on the coin. One side has a picture of a bear and the other side has a picture of a man's head. Any help would be appreciated :)

I think it's the center of a Canadian 2-dollar coin, a Toonie.
The "man" is actually Queen Elizabeth the Second.

Man's head

That's the centre part of a Canadian toonie.
Interesting that one minted after 2003 can have its centre come off. I've only heard of 1996 toonies having a fault in the "lock" of the core.
Might this one come from the 2004/5 counterfeits? I can't tell the difference myself, so I probably am wrong.

It's half a toonie. Otherwise known as a hoonie.
