I don't know about "tribal", but it's definitely Indian - that is, it's from India.
I'm pretty sure it's not actually a coin - Indian copper coins generally weren't large like this (I assume it is actually fairly large?) The pictorial scene on the reverse (bottom picture) tells me it's a Hindu temple token.
On the obverse (top picture), the bottom line of script appears to be some kind of date: I can read "946" in Hyderabad Arabic numerals. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be AH 946 (= 1549 AD) or if it's supposed to be "1946". 1946 in the Indian "Vikramasamvat" calendar was in AD 1889, but either way, if it's a religious amulet, then any "date" appearing on it isn't likely to be the actual date of manufacture; temple tokens often bear fictitious dates to make people think they're older than they actually are. Temple token usage only really started to become popular in the early 20th century.
This one looks much cruder than the usual types like the ones
shown on zeno.ru. Temple tokens are typically worth just a few dollars.
I'm also happy to be proved wrong. If my "four standing figures" on the reverse are actually just badly worn lines of script, then this may well be a genuine coin after all, from a series I'm not very familiar with.
Did the
ebay seller give any indications as to what it was?
