It's not a coin.

The two Chinese characters in the middle of the first image are sheng xiao which refers to the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac.

The names of the 12 animals are written around the perimeter.

The other side of the piece displays a dragon.

The Chinese character long, meaning "dragon", is written at the 3 o'clock position in the first image.

Presumably, there are 11 other pieces in this zodiac souvenir set.
