The good news is, we have one just like it posted here in this old thread. The bad news is, we have no idea what that first one was; I'm still not entirely convinced that the identity is actually what was posted there (mediaeval Islamic-Spainish). I still haven't been able to find a decent match for it on Zeno or any other reference site. Having a second, identical one posted on the forum makes me even more skeptical; I'm leaning more towards my original guess of "Hajj token", though if they're turning up in the Philippines, thy are probably local to that area rather than Indian in origin.

And like southerngent's example, it's colour is ambiguous. Does your coin appear to be copper, or silver?

I think Islamic Spain may be correct.

Looking it up in the Album checklist, anonymous coins where the mint is named are rated "common"; Album doesn't give prices but ballpark figures for the rarity scale; common silver are guesstimated in the $40 area.
