I'm not quite sure where to start identifying this coin. This forum has been very useful in the past. The coin is 26mm x 1mm (thin) and weighs 5.2g.

Tibet.

Please crop your pics better, such that the coin isn't surrounded by too much empty space; this will help me and others identify your coin(s).

@dsl, thx for the better pics. The coin-o-scope app correctly got me in the right neighborhood by identifying this as being from TIbet. Here is a link to a 5 Skar that looks a lot like your coin:
