I don't have a scale yet Dick.I'm thinking it is for a foreign coin,but don't have a clue which country uses this size of planchet.

13/16 of an inch in diameter,just a tad smaller than a us nickel and the thickness of a us cent.Maybe just a tad less thick.I'm only using a ruler for these measurements.
