Looks like a generic token but with a Spanish coat of arms on it. Unless it's gold...which I doubt it is...I don't think it'd be worth anything.

Interesting piece though. I'm curious what V B stands for

I'll throw out a guess for a casino in Spain...and perhaps "VB" are the initials. Good luck

It appears to be the same kind of game piece as this one.

Years late, but here is a link to this token made by Van Brook Tokens:

I acquired one of these in a lot several decades ago. It wasn't until the Token Catalog listing (#578937) was created in 2020 that I was able to identify it. Mine is slightly different from the TC one - it also has a VB in the right obverse field.
