I have this token I found in a Coinstar. I can't read the writing, so it makes it harder to identify.

It weighs 5.23 grams and is 23.18 MM in diameter, with a smooth edge. Feels like a cheap copper-nickel or steel material. It is not magnetic.  The token is the same on both sides. Since I can't read it, the image might be upside down. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

That looks and sounds like it could be a Japanese Pachinko token
