I'm not even sure that is numismatic. It came unnoticed in a lot of Japanese and Korean medals & tokens. In hand colour is darker than image.
Material feels like resin but could be mineral and the top edge is sharp enough to shave with.
Just spotted a microscopic chip at the bottom. Its laminar and I believe, mineral
40.2 x 27.7 mm, 9.00 gr.

Maybe it's a seal of some kind.

Good news! I can tell you something about it. Bad news! It's not a lot.

I sent this to my head translator for my Japanese to English team and asked him about it. He said it's Chinese, not Japanese, so he can't help. But he theorized it might be a warrior name plate.

Not any Chinese characters I have ever seen, some kind of modern design with multiple characters placed together.

Thanks all, to me it has a familial resemblance to Korean script, but I can't take it further than that.
