Hi there, hope everyone had a great weekend. Just wanted to ask if there's anyone has info or idea of this coin that I found lately. I don't have any idea what is this kind of coin.

It's not really a coin.
It's just one of many types of miniatures available on ebay
and other other sources.

Correct spelling

@Lucifer 17: Welcome!

The piece you've presented is not actually a coin. Based on its size, it would best be described as a medalet.

Purely as novelty items, there were sets of "shrunken" US coins sold here in the US - I've seen ads for them dating back to the 1960s; they were produced by more than one manufacturer.

The sets include miniature versions of each US coin denomination; your piece may have been separated from such a set or it might be a completely separate memorial piece as its design does not match that of a US Kennedy half dollar.

Either way, while an interesting keepsake, it has no numismatic value. (Unless you find it is made of gold!)

Good thing it is made from gold, I brought it also to the gold/silver shop last time when I got there to check my Japanese coin.
Perhaps it may add a little value to the coin?

Once again, your piece is not a coin - it's a medal or medalet. It was not issued by an official government to be used as money (legal tender). It is a privately-produced souvenir piece.

It's value will likely always be tied to the intrinsic value of the precious metals it contains. As it's small and light, and is only a minority part gold - the value of it's metal content will always be relatively low.

With an actual gold weight (AGW) of ~0.102 grams (~0.3 grams x fineness of 0.339, per the EBTH link above), the medalet, today, has an intrinsic value of about $6.00 USD. Based on the auction results in the link, it appears the piece's value is more "Collector" vs. "Intrinsic."
