Social distancing was a pain to show each other our finds, especially since Tom is blind, but we managed to find 2.04 total in clad, plus three wheaties, I found a hotwheels car from 2012 with all four wheels, which when cleaned up looked pretty good, and this, which we can't identify. It's about the size of a quarter, just a bit larger. Rang up as copper, but it's very light.

Any thoughts?

Could be a aluminum WWll tax token or mill as I heard my folks call them. Not sure

What's really strange to me is that the back is effectively blank.

the 1/s makes me think it's from Ireland, but I can't find anything similar to it
 
Could be a token blank, my coin book has some examples where a store would then purchase them and have the dealers stamp in their logos and store names.
 
My friend said he found something similar that was an Irish fruit market token, but I still can't find the same coin/token
