A closer, cropped pic would help and include the other side too, if there's anything there. It looks like it could be a modern "good luck" piece though.

I do not think it is a bad sign.
What we call Chinese New Year will be here soon.
I used to work with a lady from Viet Nam
who would give coins like this to people durring the new year
It was a good thing to give them and receive them. it made a pathe for money to follow or something like that.

Looks indeed like a charm/replica.
Does it have an other side?
