I am hoping someone can help me identify this coin or even the origin. I can't find anything online like it.

All I can say so far, is it looks to be gold colored.
Can it be safely taken out of the capsule, and accurately measured for diameter, thickness and weight?
A rough calculation can then be made for density.

It is possible that it could be aluminum bronze or brass, or similar copper based alloy, (both yellow colored), which would be about 1/3 of the density of pure gold.

@mkman123 ive see many medallions like these usually they have gold plating on them, and also usually fake designs.
