This is my final request for identification. I suspect that this small brass coin could be an imitation made for jewellery, as it looks rather crude and it's very thin.
Dime shown for size comparison. Thanks!

@numis, while coin-o-scope didn't seem to help much, I was able to use google lens to find this as a 20 Para Token for the Galata Bridge in Istanbul. Here is a link to the entry in numista:
