Hi,
Looks more like a trade token of some type.
I looked through British, French coins and East India token.
Couldn't find anything.

Came across this wesite.

trade tokens - token collectors -tokens - token, goodfors - chits - scrip

he seems to know quite alot about tokens.

A larger pic, diameter and weight would help. At first sight, it looks like part of a toy set. Definitely not a coin, probably not a token.
