Japanese Token Mystery

I searched and searched to no avail. Google lens turned up a few obviously erroneous answers and a few other people searching for the same item.

It's not necessarily Japanese; the script is somewhat stylized Chinese characters, which can be used to write Japanese (in the form of Kanji), but it can also be from China or Taiwan.

The script is very irregularly written. This may be deliberate; the left-most two of the characters on the castle-side seem to best-translate to "fool" (Daizi, literally "stupid child"), so it may have been deliberately been written badly, as if by a semi-literate?

The last two characters on the other side seem to be Nuzi, "woman child", so I'm not sure what's going on there either. Speaking as a purely ignorant Westerner, of course; I suspect it's some kind of gag coin and I'm just not getting the joke.

Japanese native speaker who speaks also Chinese says that this is not Japanese and likely Chinese or trying to be Chinese.
No idea what is written and kanjis are pretty strange so no idea on the meaning as well. The "star looking" kanji on the front and reverse is similar to what 'rice' would be.

My personal speculation: maybe this is a token made by some non-Chinese country trying to mimic something buddhist.

Strange but interesting. The characters don't even look kanji or hiragana.
