Hello and welcome.
What you have here is not a "coin". It is a kind of Islamic token, usually used as a "good luck charm" (for want of a better phrase), commonly found in Indonesia and Malaysia. These tokens have lots of different designs, but this one with the mosque has several examples in the Zeno.ru database. Here's an example made of tin with some discussion of what the design appears to represent. Here's another, which is made of brass.
