I agree that this is either some sort of decoration or a very fancy drink coaster.
The double headed eagle is a common image used across Europe since Byzantine times. Yours does not have a crown, nor the typical "orb and sword/scepter" in its claws, which leads me to believe that it is just decorative nonsense. The abundance of grapes is also odd--here is the closest that I could find online:

All that said, I really don't know what this is intended to be, but it certainly isn't a coin. Any clue what it's made of?
