Leather Celtic

i have a kind of celtic coin but i dont know what it is?

its very light, not made of metal, has a celtic cross exactly like the one the gaa use. i think its made of clay or leather, but the cross is very well drawn, even though the circle is rough.it would probaly have originally been a light brown colour, or it could have been covered by something. there is nothing on the other side. is it a coin or what?
