Here's a coin I got in France. The seller didn't know what it was, neither do I. It has the same thing on both sides, only there's a countermark on one of them.

it appears to be denominated as one Franc, so my guess is that it is a gaming token of some sort - perhaps a casino chip.
The French had many tokens. What is the weight and diameter, please ?

Sorry, I wrote this post a little fast. Diameter is 23-24mm, as for weight I'll check at work tomorrow or thursday, I have a balance there. I figure it'll be a tough one, so that's why I put it here :P

All right, not entirely convinced it'll help to identify it, but it weighs 3.7 grams.
