The coin is a Provisional Government of China Federal Reserve Bank fen, 5 fen or chiao. They are all aluminum and have the same design, differing only in size and the date/denomination legends.
From those blurry photos it is absolutely impossible to tell either the denomination or the date.
The bank was opened in Beijng (then known as Peking) by the Japanese during their World War II occupation. and issued coins during 1941-42. They are fairly common, and catalog in the 20¢-$45 range, depending on date and condition.
BTW that is not the Golden Pavillion in Kyoto. It is probably a generic rendering of a Sino-Japanese style pagoda of the type found on the grounds of every Chinese or Japanese Buddhist Temple.

Konnichiwa Tomo....
Welcome to the Forum, as far as I am aware of, you are the first poster from Japan. Japan has a fabulous coinage system and there is so much we can learn from you and your friends.

Wow Tomo! I'm impressed that you were able to recognize that much from the photos.
Stevefrancis, please post clearer pics if you can. I'd love to see the coin.

Are you sure it is NOT a medal? I don't even think it's a Machu coin either - there were no coins that had a die stuck a lot smaller than the planchet itself from the second picture that I see.

While the image is blurry, it does look alot like Kinkakuji (Golden Temple), which is very beautiful and has a fascinating history. It was rebuilt after a Buddhist monk burned it to the ground because it was "too beautiful" and he was jealous.
