Compact, Money holder, I don't know

This is a strange one,
Looks like it has 2 spots on top for small coins, and one big one for a $20 gold piece??
Little door hinged where the Gold piece would have been.
Or it was 2 spots for make up, and a mirror was behind the little door
I also thought of a belt buckle, but there doesn't seem to be any attaching points for that
There is no writing on it at all
Any ideas?

It looks like a compact, the two little rounds things might be for different color make up (don't know what kind I'm thinking of cuz I don't wear it) but that's what it looks like to me!

Re: Compact, Money holder, I don't know

have you tried holding some old silver coins up to the small circles to size them up? Wish they would have left you a little tip inside the one that closed a twenty dollar gold piece would have surely been a nice touch.

Yes, these were normally for gold coins & not silver.
