Vintage Balenciaga Coin Purse/Pouch?

Hello, I recently aquired this for a dollar from a thrift store and Im curious as if it is authentic Balenciaga. I usually find Dior/Burberry and I'm not too familiar with this brand. I was thinking that this may be a gift that came with perfume or something, but its not listed anywhere. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

The stitching is clean on the inside/outside. The zipper is marked as YKK. The only noticable stamp/markings on the bag is on the front in white leather and the composition tag on the inside. The inside material is solid black .

The stitching is clean on the inside/outside. The zipper is marked as YKK. The only noticable stamp/markings on the bag is on the front in white leather and the composition tag on the inside. The inside material is solid black .

Note: I just noticed that there are a few numbers going down the zipper in the metal. My eyesight is way too bad to read them fully and I can't focus a camera on them .
This well can be a free bag given along the perfume, or any other cosmetic item, but we do not have any tools to authenticate them

you're missing the pics of zipper head underneath and the rivets, please get those and re-post quoting your first post.

The pics aren't really useful but based on what I can see I'd stay away. You didn't list a link, where is this bag from?

This bag is from Carousell (mobile app) so there isn’t a link.. I managed to get a few more photos from the seller but couldn’t get all the required photos though..

The metallic edge bags started in 2014. "Made in Italy" went uppercase in 2011. F/W 2012 saw the alpha letter on the back of the tag denoting season/year made. This bag has lower case "made in Italy" and no alpha letter. Unless I'm unaware of some anomaly in the ME bags I'd say it's not authentic. The lack of photos doesn't help unfortunately.
 
Hi could you guys please help me authenticate this bag , I would be super greatful
