Hi - discovered the coin in the pic links and have no idea what it is. It's round and about the same size as a 20p (I've included a 20p in the images for comparison). It has the Queens Head on one side and a pattern on the other. No text on either side or the edge. The edge looks like 2 coins pressed together. Any thoughts that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like the centre part of a £2 coin with the brass outer section removed.

The fact that it has come apart means that it is almost certainly a forgery, there are other posts on this issue on this forum.

I'd say it was real. Got some impact marks around the middle where someone's punched it out. Not terribly difficult by all accounts. :huh:
