Identifying a Collectible Doubloon?

Identifying a Collectible Doubloon - gold colored doubloon with an Hindu deity motif of Lakshmi This is a very heavy doubloon or coin. It weighs approximately 5 grams. I researched it a little bit and I think it comes from an India festival "Mardi Gras like". Any advice?

Price of doubloons:

Many Mardi Gras doubloons were made only for the Mardi Gras.
During the festival the floats would throw these into the crowds and people would collect them.
Many collectors love to collect the old doubloons from the Mardi Gras.
The value of each doubloon is different and based on how many were made for this year.
Second, they base their value on popular the krewe is.
Basically there is a club for doubloon collectors that meet to swap out doubloons with other collectors.
The price for selling one of these online is very low. The price starts at $1.99 to around $4.00.
The more you have the price can go up to around $10 for a simple collection of 6 to 10.

This is more of a keepsake item and the only real value of such a coin is with other doubloon collectors.

If you Google "doubloon swap", you can take your doubloon there and get its value. A lot of them are not authentic, and it's hard to tell from just a picture.
