Maybe it was originally fitted to furniture, drawer maybe?

I'd say a ring pull of some type.
Looks to have possibly come away from an attachment plate, decorative back plate etc.
From size maybe off a cheap jewellery box or something similar (fancy ones would have been brass or silver).
Or screw end has broken off.

Steel, Silver or other might give a clue.
End of a clock weight?
A key?
Could it be a wax seal?
Bell knocker ring?
Something small, functional, hard wearing, not expensive or personal, and not hand made.

It is, i believe, part of the top of a fob watch where your watch chain would attach.
We need to know what metal it is... is it steel, brass, alloyed? If it has any iron content, then probably an ordinary draw/door pull.
Never seen a drawer pull the size of a $2 coin unless it came off a jewelry box.

aa
Could the ring have swivelled in the base? If so, could it have been a winder for a wall clock. These fob watch winders have a swivel where the chain is fitted. Compared to the two dollar coin, my ring seems much smaller. wiley. (P.S. Aussie Farmer, I know you won't be able to resist having a crack at that last sentence!) Lol.
Wiley , you beat me too it, havin a "crack" about the size of your ring ...
Phantoms ring has a peened over end with less than a mm (by my estimate) gap between peening and ring base which to me suggests it was on a metal , tin if you like, type of object such as a cash draw or something.
You have a very nice ring there phantom, as big or slightly larger than the $2 coin , a finger would almost go in your ring compared to wileys ring.
Most likely a tin lid or drawer, Much easier to grip with cold fingers than a knob of that size.
Very intriguing.
