That is a brass token from a 1970s Nescafé package. Not sure there is an exact prototype for it, but something like this Greek stater: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces177930.html

Yes I agree with @era on this. There were a series of these ancient coin reproductions, all marked with NP75. Here is a link to the numista page on this specific one:

Added: while this object is gold-colored, it wasn't manufactured out of actual gold.

You know, it looks like the "MEKU" and the "NP75" may never have been on this one. The whole set sold on eBay recently for $40 for the 10 of them and this one seems to be missing the marks even on that set.

Interesting trinkets! Certainly a great way to stir up interest in coin collecting. Ancients in particular. Had I been aware of these tokens in the 1970's, it would have spurred my turn towards ancients far earlier.
