Have you tried researching Thailand or Siam?

I don't think it is a coin, but a token. Could be Burmese or Indian

Agreed, it's not a coin. What it is I'm not really sure; it's clearly Buddhist in origin, but I don't think Buddhists have as strong a tradition of issuing "temple tokens" as the Hindus and Muslims of India and Southeast Asia do.
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

The building kind of resembles Ankor Wat or one of the other temples in that part of the world

Hi,
looks like a Burmese temple token to me.
