This piece looks like it is made of white metal or billon. It is approx. 22 m.m., weighs 2.4 grams, with a smooth thin edge and no date. I thought it might be a token or outright fantasy. Anyone familiar with this item?

It looks as though it should be Moroccan or maybe Tunisian, but if it is I can't find it. Best bet is that it's a fantasy or a token.

Yep, it's an "imitation Ottoman" jewellery replica, based on the design of an early Algerian silver budju.
