Is this even a coin? The back of the coin reminds me of the Korean flag, that is the only clue I have at this point. Found this in a drawer of old coins my Great-Aunt collected. Do no know the story behind it but I know she visited Asia before and after WWII.

More likely a charm not a coin.

The symbols on both this token and on the South Korean flag are hexagrams from the Chinese divination system known as the I Ching, or Book of Changes.
