welcome to Numista
Why do you think it is gold?
It gives me the feeling of a belly dancers token, because the tekst mimics arabic writing.

Murabitids (Almoravids) , Ishaq ibn 'Ali, 1145-1146, gold qirat (later jeweler's imitation, c. 18th-20th century, Morocco?). The calligraphy is a bit off but still legible. Compare this similar example (courtesy Zeno.ru):

With respect, the constant references in this forum to "belly dancer tokens" is demeaning to traditional cultures where gold and silver coins (and their imitations) have been sewn onto clothing and used in jewelry since ancient times. Vintage items of this class are much more likely to have adorned a Berber bride's headdress than a nightclub dancer's costume.

To be fair, most of the ones posted on here seem to be fairly modern in design. Sometimes you can just tell looking at something that it is a cheap reproduction.

This was obviously a coin of some sort (thanks for the ID!) since it was not holed.​

​I've never seen anyone relating belly dancers to a nightclub dancer here. I tend to bounce around what to call the modern coins they use, they are coins but not currency. Tokens by definition are representations (which by that definition almost all modern money is, since it represents a fictional amount of gold/silver/whathaveyou). Since we call them coin belts and the like I tend to stick with the word "coin" but I've never had a problem with someone using a synonym. It's just a fact that these days most modern belly dancers, no matter how traditional, will have costumes with reproductions or inspired fantasy coins. I've certainly seen these pop up in coin lots and I would say that the fact that we keep seeing them here just shows that there's little disrespect meant. And I see the members here simply calling it what it is.

All of that said, if you have a better suggestion I'm definitely open. I do like hearing about differences in cultural preference.
