from g pa's drawer, a coin knife?

when my grand pa passed in 88 i got this from his drawer. i found it the other day going through my stuff. its like a old coin cut in half and been stuffed with swiss knife parts. there are very small stampings, i tried to get pics of, and on the back right above the ribbon in the wreath i can barley see 18?4 in large print, like a coin. the blade and file says made in france. this has been carried a long ways looking at the wear. anyone ever seen one of these doodads?
my question is was this once actually a coin at one time?
