Can anyone help with this one please?

I acquired it some time ago in a mixed lot, my initial reation was 'some idiot has silver plated a scarce coin' and it went into my box of junk and oddities

Loooking at again I realized it was heavier than a normal Kruger penny - approx 10g as opposed to 9g, it is magnetic so I'm assuming it is Nickel, and

the coin has good lustre that doesn't show in a scan, the edge has marks which suggest it was mounted at some time in the past

Internet searches have proved fruitless, so ;- unrecorded pattern, off-metal mistrike, or fantasy piece?

Any help from S.African experts would be appreciated
