Obscure Looking Coin, Originally Looked Like Corrosion

I suspect it's not a coin or at least, if it originally was, then it was altered to something else (perhaps a piece of jewellery) back in ancient times.

Maybe it's just the "Face on Mars Effect" and maybe I've just been staring at my 2 year old niece's collection of Tinkerbell paraphernalia, but on the side you've labelled the "front", I'm seeing a winged figure, when rotated this way:


Insect-like "fairy wings" are definitely not the way the ancients depicted winged humanoids, however, so I'm probably just imagining that. There also seems to be something, either some kind of inscription or a branch, at the "bottom". It looks intentional rather than random.

I can't make out anything on the other side, but the rims are way too high relief for an ancient coin.



I suspect it won't be gold - unless that green stuff is actually what's left of paint or other decoration, rather than corrosion. Gold doesn't corrode under normal circumstances; a 2000 year old gold coin freshly dug up out of the ground looks like a gold coin, rather than the rocks which bronze coins and this object resemble. If the artifact has a core of yellowish metal, I would assume it to be brass, unless it's tested and found to be otherwise.
