Here is Ed Snible's comments and help with identification:

USA? Circa 1982. 24mm, 7.1g, uncertain black metal Obv: Horned and legless bat Rev: blank? I suspect this is the black metal core of an enamel pin issued by English heavy metal vocalized Ozzy Osbourne for his Speak Of The Devil tour. Similar to this one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/519118768/ozzy-osbourne-bat-speak-of-the-devil John "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 1948) is an English vocalist and songwriter. He rose to prominence in the early 1970s as vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. He was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979. In the early 2000s, Osbourne became a reality television star, appearing as himself in the MTV reality show The Osbournes. He appeared with son Jack in the 2016 documentary Ozzy & Jack's World Detour. Osbourne's DNA was sequenced and in 2010 it was revealed he is a genetic mutant with unique DNA variations associated with drugs and partying. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/genetic-mutations-ozzy-osbourne-party-hard/story?id=12032552 (Cited from: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/need-help-with-id.308621/#post-2955421)

Somewhere I have a "Parthus Dollar", printed by my then-company when we floated back in 2000.   "In Parthus we trust" was the slogan and there was a photo' of one of our chips instead of a president.   Anyway, I've no idea where it is, but I found my photos of this 0 Euro note, which I got as a freebie in the last coin fair I attended before lockdown - late February 2020.

Next - a nice old banknote.

Next- a coin you first thought was ancient. 

[TuckHard]

I thought it was a good price if real, and I could try to get my money back if it was fake. The eBay seller's photos were a bit too poor to tell for sure but I thought it was worth the shot. Here's the clear photos I took of the pamphlet with the Gupta coin imbedded that I hoped to free. Even from my photo, you can tell something is off. 

Not quite as good in hand, that's for sure! It's most definitely a modern cast, no doubt. 

Funny thing, when I tried to get a refund the seller disputed it and told me that either it was real (it's not) or the refund should come from the manufacturer (shame on The Bradford Exchange Mint). Either way, they said it wasn't them. eBay, on the other hand, thought I should get the refund and keep the coin, so now I have both. It was all under $20 anyways, but still a fun bummer to get this fake for free.
