All the details I can make out (and the photos are so-so) seem to match https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces13157.html

it is even 20mm in diameter. Obviously it isn't gold (or I've never seen gold turn green) So I am assuming it was a fake maybe with gold leaf or something at one time. I have not found any copper denominations that would match. So mostly looking for confirmation, but if someone finds an actual coin or token kudos!

Here's an example, and look in * Tokens * - United Kingdom - Counter Tokens for more.
