It appears to be half of a hollow "spy coin". These are readily available - a quick internet search turned up quite a few offerings.

Most of the time we call these Magician's coins. The coin has been cut down and hallowed out. It may have had a cent that was cut down to fit inside.

It's an interesting coin, but it isn't an error. This is Post Mint Damage, or PMD.

Based on the remnant adhesive in the hollowed out side, I agree with this having been one half of a Magician's coin rather than a spy coin, but either way it is a fun find. No numismatic value, but still worth keeping as an oddity.

Also, welcome to CCF.

Forgot about this one I got in change 3 or 4 years ago. Should have removed the pocket link before taking pics!
