These where found and no one I've showed even at shows knows what they are. People have verified there coins and old. Image is the same on both sides and appears to be two squirrels at a table. Pictures are the best I could take they are smaller than a dime but thick as almost a Morgan.
I don't think they are even coins all though coin guys have said they are

Hmm, some Norway coins use squirrels on their designs. Like this one in the ebay link. Don't know if yours is even a coin or medal / token or what though.

Frustrated coin collectors see in everything round a coin

It is not a coin.
It is a lead seal for a whiskey bottle.
It hangs with a little rope around the neck.
On the seal you see two squirrels, besides the arms of Kilmarnock, used by Johnny Walker on their bottles:

Both sides have the same picture:

Petrus, thanks for the information and the links. I enjoyed learning about these. I never saw them before and I drink Johnny Walker - but never anything as old as those bottles in the link.
