Wierd Obverse

 

Does anyone haves any idea what this is ? The reverse is a 2 cent piece but the obverse has some kind of a design. I can't figure out what this is. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Indeed it is what is called a "Love Token". Usually only one side is engraved, and sometimes quite beautifully, and the other is left with the original devices (surface). They seem to be most common around the times of war but can be anytime. Also it is common for the host coin to have a hole to allow the coin/token to be worn.
