Here's another coin I'm not sure what it is. It is not magnetic.

Barbara dime for size reference.
 

I was thinking the Image of the man resembles a pose from a statue of King Kamehameha of Hawaii

I don't think this is a coin, it's more likely a commemorative token from the 1878 Paris Exhibition. :icon_scratch:
I think it was likely a pendant that hung from a chain or possibly a watch fob.

If you look closely you can see where something attached to the top of the token. :thumbsup:

PS. Here's a drawing of the 1878 American Pavilion from the Paris Exhibition.
