Hi Tarabelle,

That would be hat badge size and seems to have been made to be worn as such.
Others may know more about it.
Cheers,

A thought, this badge may have been made/worn in the Pacific theatre during WW2. Some souvenir items were made of plastic or similar material.

This is not the first plastic NZ badge that I have come across.
Just as a thought, Onwards badges worn by all 2NZEF, I suspect made for home use.
