Anyone knows anything about this coin. Cant find it anywhere
It once was a coin from Sweden - then someone rubbed out the reverse
(which it why it is flat with no rim) and engraved initials on it.

Though your coin looks more copper but may be the lighting.

Engraving on a coin is called a 'love token' and I have one ...

where someone rubbed out the reverse on a coin that has
GEORGIVS III REX on the front. He also created an extra rim on the reverse,
then added J C initials by engraving. Furthermore on the front he then
hollowed out part of it and added a silver coin that has
CAROLVS II D G M B F & H REX on the front. :8D

Thank you so much for your explanation. Didn’t know the story about love tokens.
It is the 31mm silver 2kr from 1890-1904.
it’s just the lighting in the pic that made it look more yellow/brownish.
Your love token is fabulous😊.
