My guess is that this was once an Encased Cent and later removed from the aluminum casing. A great many 1901 cents were encased that year; this, to be sold as mementoes at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. It may well have been plated, too.

Previously Encased Coins have distinctive marks around the rim on obverse and reverse which this one does not exhibit. Until further evidence is provided, I'm voting for cast counterfeit.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Good point, Hondo. If cast, it may have been plated as a jewelry item. a cuff link insert, perhaps?
