With the same design on both sides, it certainly is not an actual coin. What it is, I can only guess without a translation of the inscription. My best guess would be a jewellery replica, intended to look superficially like a coin when attached to clothing or something; I'm only guessing this because "something that looks like an Ottoman coin but isn't" is almost always a jewellery imitation, especially if it's yellowish or golden-coloured.
