Got this oddity a bit of time ago as a find in a dealers foreign coins box. The weight is approximately 1.62g (vs. 1.4g on numista for the aluminum coin) and is the same size as the one there.

Ironically the plastic one here (probably a play money coin) is heavier than the real coin itself.

The shine on this thing made it fairly hard to photograph but will try these pics.

I cannot find this plastic example online (Not on Numista) even though I looked for some time but nothing came up. Probably a play money example as I mentioned above.

Certainly looks like play money, mrwhatisit - how curious!
Here's a real Hungary 1 Forint 1968 for comparison. By the way, I weighed 6 of them after calibrating my scale and the average was 1.50 g.

Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
