It appears to be a token of the bi metallic type, generic more than likely. Unless somebody recognizes the two triangles as a logo. Could be a arcade, car wash, or casino type. You did say were it is from(country)

Correct; it's a generic token, not a coin.

The Eagle leads me to believe that it was made by a US company, but I can't shake the feeling that this was made to register as a 1 Euro coin, just like how many car wash tokens (e.g. x-mark) have the same conductive signature as a Presidential dollar so that they can be used interchangeably. Is it the same dimensions as a Euro by any chance? |

I think the outer rim is to wide to mimic a euro.
Turkey and Thailand have also bimetallic coins

As does Mexico, albeit not the same size, necessarily.

It's definitely a token, not a coin. I agree with Tenhulz, that it appears to be associated with the military. These symbols mean something to somebody. Taken together, the eagle, stars, triangles (delta wing shapes?), and lack of text, suggest a token associated with a classified military program, possibly a keepsake for the people who worked on the program. Of course, if that's what it is, you're not going to find a description of the token anywhere. Do you know who owned it before you and what they did for a living?

I agree that it's not a challenge coin but I'm considerably more skeptical about it being a generic token. The generic tokens in the links Circus posted (at least the ones I saw in a quick review) have small cartoonish eagles that aren't doing anything. This token has a relatively large eagle that's attacking something as well as cryptic triangle symbols. It doesn't seem to be generic enough to be generic, if that makes sense. My theory is unlikely to ever be proven. However, it could be disproven if these images were found in a generic token catalog.
