I can supply a picture of a piece that sounds suspiciously similar to what you describe:

Question-About-Unidentified-Coin/Token

Mine is a "stock token" from Leisure & Allied Industries, a Perth-based manufacturer of arcade games and similar entertainments. They would have been used either by LAI's own brand video arcades (now known as "Timezone") or sold to customers too cheap or too small to have their own specific tokens made for them.

Mine is nickel-plated brass. Yours either has the nickel plating worn away or was never plated in the first place.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

In the book titled "Commemorative Medals and Tokens of Queensland since 1962" published in 1984 there's a token I think sounds similar to what you have.
