The larger copper one is of Swedish origin; företagen translates to "enterprise" or "venture". Googling the exact phrase "Cherry Företagen" uncovers the fact that it's the name of a Swedish arcade game and slot machine manufacturer; presumably the token was made for distribution with their game machines.

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
