What is on the other side? Weight? Size? Composition?

This is just an opinion, but given the size and weight I am guessing that this is a rustic athletic award medal. The tarnished look suggests to me that this is brass.

I've done some looking for coins, medals or tokens with a discus thrower on the obverse and a frog on the reverse and came up empty.

Yes definitely a bit rustic, but an interesting find. It looks like around the Lilly pad there are four letters: P O D O and two stars.

At over 2 ounces, it's way too inconvenient to be some kind of token. They will be brass, not gold - gold won't tarnish like that.

Perhaps some paperweights?
