Default Unknown Necklace Help

I found this about 6" below the surface. Its copper and the links are hand made. She has leaves around her head and there are 13 stars going around the outer perameter. It is stamped from the reverse so there is no obverse.

The picture is really bad. I can see the face perfectly. When you set it down it sounds like a coin.

The attaching link has 2 rows of small squares across it, could this be a trade mark of some sort?

Any info would be great!

Thanks,
Silver.

Default No date, no reverse.

I thought it was a coin also but there is no date and no reverse. It's about the size of a dime, maybe a little smaller.

I'm thinking the mid 1800's because my friend got a 1896 Barber quarter a few feet away and I got a 1942 merc.

Thanks,
Silver.
