Coin is just slightly larger than a penny. Has a 5 point star on one side which looks like it has a #6 or #9 in center. Reverse side looks like a circle pattern made from links or leaves of sorts.
I'm guessing copper.
Thanks for the help trying to id it

It's a civil war token. Tough to identify the exact type in the condition it's in, but probably the below one or a very similar variety:
