British-Queen-Victoria-5-Cents-Token?-|-Mauritius-Coin

I searched SCWC 1801-1900 under every British entity I could think of and find nothing remotely close so I suppose this must be a token for one of the colonies since it is denominated in CENTS.

The obverse has Victoria's young head bust facing left with VICTORIA to the left and QUEEN to the right (just as does many colonial coins of the era). I can make our RITI at the top starting about 11 o'clock. In the center is a large 5. I can make out CENT at the bottom roughly centered. The item measures 28mm and weighs 8.96 grams.

Any ideas what and where?

Thanks

This is a 5 cents from Mauritius KM#9. A coin, not a token.
