Gold colour non-magnetic dodecagon coin 4.69g approx 20mm x 1.5mm [решено]

I was hoping someone could provide some information about this coin.

Gold colour non-magnetic dodecagon coin 4.69g approx 20mm x 1.5mm metal is quite soft and fairly easily scratched.

At first look I thought the head was a young Queen Elizabeth but the more I have stared at this coin, the less sure I am. But then again, the more I look at this the more I think I can see letters/numbers/etc. It is starting to remind me of finding shapes in clouds. LOL

Thanks in advance.

I have included an image with some lines highlighted.

Welcome to Numista!

Maybe something like this?

Looks to me like someone has utterly destroyed a 3p coin ( https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces71.html ).

I think it's a Great Britain 3 Pense:

My first thought was a threepence. However, the weight and thickness is too light and thin for that.

Also, the lines on the portcullis on a threepence are parallel.

Weight / diameter / thickness would be less, as the coin has been in acid.
Hence the pitted and worn away designs.

​Acid would explain the pitting/etc.

A threepence with years of street cred then polished to death.

Images were at an angle so can not do much ...

​Yeah. The randomness of patterns after the acid was confusing. Some of them started to look like honeycombs and lines far beyond the portcullis.

Still have no clue why it was put in acid so long it ended up like that (perhaps was forgotten about LOL) but then to polish it afterwards?

Something to go in my interesting box. Thanks everyone.

May also have been sea water - so if found on a beach after 50 years for example.
Or yes acid, in maybe a school experiment. OR - someone swallowed it.

At this amount of wear a normal 3 pence would only have hinted the lines on the portcullis on one direction.
I can clearly see them on perpendicular directions forming little squares.

Could i suggest a usual 3 pence struck over a 1953 one then destroyed ?

The 1953 3 pence has the lines horizontally while the rest have them vertically.
