Nice find. Hopefully someone recognizes it, but I don't. Hope you do make it some day!

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

That "coin" would probably fall under the category of "bling". Basically items made and brought to the playa by camps or individuals to gift to others. https://www.google.com/search?q=burning ... iAodbKcGZQ

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Maybe it's a souvenir made by someone connected with Burning Man's Snowflake Village. You could google them and contact them about it.
