Mark Pennies were and still are rewarded to freemasons for passing certain levels. These are often worn (thus the hole) pinned to a coat or tie. It really depends on the traditions of a particular lodge. It is not uncommon for some to be plated silver to be more decorative. I would guess this is plated.
Any penny before 2012 should not be magnetic other than a steelie (steel penny). If a magnet does not pick it up, it is plated.
