Welcome to the Forum

That is called PMD (Post Minting Damage). It occured after the coin was minted and has no value.

Mabry someone could tell me something about this certain coin. I have no info on it what so ever and I've tried researching it and the only thing I get is it may be an ancient coin but I'm not so sure about that though but you never know.. Could anyone help me with any info at all please?

Not really a coin. It's some sort of token. Looks like some sort of mid Eastern wedding token but that is just a guess.

PS- Please start a new thread good each new subject.

Ok ill be sure to do that, thank you.  Thank you for the info as well.  It being a token never crossed my mind. Ill do some research on tokens now. Thank you

One of the traditions of  Catholic weddings in Mexico, and other countries, is for the groom to give the bride an Arras, a container of 13 gold, silver, or base metal coins or tokens, to symbolize his ability to take care of her financially. Your token looks like one of these. Since it is not fancy and has no wording, it is presumably one of the cheaper versions.
