A medal surely? In which country is it legal currency?
Yes, it must be a medal. The term "coin" is too often used as a synonym for medal, token, etc.
btw: I bet the designer of that medal listens to reggae.

Indeed. For example, quite a few euro collectors were startled by the news last month about a new Belgian "Asterix" coin.
