Any guesses?

It looks familiar, but I just can't place it.

Just want to add that the date could also be SH1335 which would make it 1956.
Definitely a token, with the design I would suspect some sort of love token.

I think these are usually described as Iranian wedding tokens

Trying again, this time with 'wedding' instead of 'love' as part of the name I found:

https://goccf.com/t/80510
Which deals with a brass token having a very similar side to the second picture above.
Further posts in that topic point to http://users.pullman.com/fjstevens/...nTokens.html
Worth reading through the whole page - yes, the token being the topic here is in there with another date.
