Not a coin but a token. I think it is Japanese. Probably an arcade token but I am not sure. Don't think it is worth that much.

I found it in Chicago at the Walgreens off Chicago Ave. and Michigan Ave. It's got the same markings on each side.

Yep, it's a Japanese pachinko token. Pachinko is a peculiarly Japanese variation on the slot machine.

Pachinko tokens pass for about the value of a U. S. quarter, give or take.
