Hi. I recently found this coin and am wondering what country it is from or is it even a coin?

Thanks,
Chuck

That is not a coin. A larger pic is needed for id.
Is it uniface? (one-sided)

It is one sided. And very thin. I have a larger on like it with a 200 on it as well and it also has the bent edge on it. The back has the impression of the raised surface on it.

I believe you will find that if it isn't badly damaged or corroded and you weigh it, it ought to weigh exactly 0.05 grams - because it says "50 mg" on it (50 milligrams). It is a weight, part of what was presumably a set of weights for use with an old pre-digital balance. Your "200" piece should weigh exactly 0.2 grams. The bent part is supposed to be bent like that; this is to allow the weight to be more easily picked up with tweezers that came with the set of weights. We have a set very much like it that was once used with the older balances in the chemistry lab where I work.
