I need help with this one coin/token. Tried to scan it as best I could. BOTH sides of this thing is the same design.

Would appreciate any help.



Is-This-A-Coin-Or-Token?

This does not seem to be stuck very well at all.... looks to be worn but some reason I think it was struck very faintly. The scan does not show its true color.... it is a bright silver color. This is about the size of small US dollar.

Surely this can not be a coin. Must be some kind of Asian token or something? Please help!!

Rest in Peace

It's a pachinko token. Very common in Japan, and this is one of perhaps hundreds of token designs.

Pachinko is a game played in a vertical enclosed case reminiscent of a pinball game. It's almost as effective as Facebook in wasting your personal time.

Very interesting........ it came in a group of world coins I bought. Crudely made, but effective in those machines, I guess.

Thanks so much for you help!!
