Mysterious coin?

[bhx7]

Hi Guys

I just came back across a coin, I use the term loosely, that I have had stuck away for what must be 15-20+ years. I can't even remember where it came from, I am assuming with a lot of other bits and pieces. It is smaller than a threepence, about twice as thick and is uni-faced and appears to be silver (although I maybe wrong as I haven't tested it). Anyone any idea what it is?

Here is a pic for size comparison.

I've seen similar images on tokens, not coins, from Indonesia and the Philippines. No idea however on any meaning, except perhaps a crude rendition of the Garuda bird.

Very interesting. Will look into that to see if that could be what this is....

****Update***** while looking into the information bagerap gave me I stumbled across the following page: 

http://www.coincoin.com/srCB.htm

I then looked up in Krause, not quite as indepth as the above site but seems I have a piece of Cambodian Tical Coinage - 2 PE (1/2 Fuang) from the rule of Norodom I and dating to 1847-60.
