Hello Spence! Thank you for the warm welcome :)
The context of the coin is I got it from a friend as my graduation gift, he bought it for $5 from a coin seller. I just contacted the seller and he said that someone sold it to him as a bulk with other coins and he did not know either it came from an inheritance or just a personal collection. However, I do not think that he is an experienced (or even worse, ethical) coin seller because I have found 4 different kind of obvious fakes (3 Chinese coins and 1 american coin) as a legit coin although none of them (including real silver guldens) are priced incredibly expensive. He told me that he priced the coin by size if he could not identify the coin, the smaller it is the cheaper it is.
Regarding the specific gravity of the coin itself the result comes to 9.16, which means that the coin is not purely silver... so yeah, probably it is a token of some sort?
