Unidentified Qfi Token From 50's Or 60's Help

@best, thx for posting an interesting token. Knowing the weight and diameter can help us--pls post this info to the thread.

It looks to me like it was struck with a die from one side with the other side resting on a compliant surface, so that the letters are incuse only on one side.

I'm not finding a match in the usual places, but wonder if your dad spent any time in Japan. Perhaps it is a Pachinko Token?

And this is why you never trust an AI search result ............

AI Overview:
"The image shows a British decimal halfpenny (½p) coin from 1975, featuring Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse."

Ok here are the measurement results Spence. And yes, he was in Japan. He was in all the countries in my world coin coin post. 25.58mm or 1.007" diameter. .58mm,.036" thick at the edge. And 3.5 g. Also here is my CoinSnap opinion I just checked. My son's AI search was specifically for the meaning of QFI token. Which to a point gave me some insight. Not so sure my dad instructed though. So yea, AI searches are to be taken with a grain of not even salt. Oh yea, composition is gold. Just read CoinSnap. Woohoo.

In case you're curious, the gold fanam found as a match by the AI database would be something like this one on zeno.ru: https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=251189

They're both yellowish metal, and both have a curvy shape inside a circle. And I guess I do kind of see a resemblance between the markings on this token and Arabic script.

The key problem with current-generation AI is that it has a hard time saying "I don't know", or even qualifying its answers with any kind of doubt or uncertainty. If it doesn't know, it would prefer to just make stuff up, or to keep digging through the low-end of Google search until it finds a barely-related fact and links the two together, and then rigidly asserts that "fact" to be true.

And unfortunately, "I don't know" is still the current answer for this token.
