British 3 (pence?) No date, unusual wording JMATATION...

-Anyone run across one of these before?
- mystery coin copy/fake/Victorian medallion.
-appears to be a Victoria young head c 1870's - copy?
- 15 mm diameter
- Holed
- Has the Crown and 3 below - but no date either side.
- Wording on reverse looks like JMATATION L. GL...(holed)...GUE? L FURNBERG
- possibly silvered copper

Thanks in advance

Play money perhaps?

................I think you might have hit the head on the nail.

Victorian Play Money
Found something similar on ebay

Thanks for that thought.

On the head side is the word LAUER who made play money.
Like an early version of Monopoly money, but for playing of cards et cetera.

Yours is amongst the search under United Kingdom.

P.S. The word looks like IMITATION to me, like modern-day fake coins have COPY on them,
so people do not think they are real.

So it is a Nuremberg jeton, made by Lauer:
