What makes it an opium dollar? Looks like any other trade dollar.
Does the date has some significance?

The coin has been cut cross section and the inside hinged and carved out like a locket.

I have a couple of these. It would not be easy to keep opium in one unless some kind of ribbon or string were attached in order to help open it up.
