I am not sure but I think I see the word "Spielgeld" on the back of the coin. That means "play money". Those can be coins from the nazi era that were given to small children to get used to the money of the reich. Totally not sure, but on ebay I found similar small play money with the value 5 reichmark.

It means toy/play money but it's maybe not for children but for gamblers.

I agree about Spielgeld (game money), however, judging by the images, these coins seem to spoof the Nazi-era design; it is hardly unlikely that the Nazis would leave unpunished using state symbols in a distorted manner or spoofing the coin design - which means that these game tokens were struck much later. They seem to be too light for gambling though (too big a risk for gambling machine operators); most probably they were used in children games.
The nominal is expressed in "Rechenpfennig", which means "counting pfennigs".

Looks very similar by concept, design and weight to this series (that mimics German coins of various periods of the XX century):
