This coin has the same pattern on both sides.... It came from my big box of world coins and I can't read it.... is it a token or something of the sort?



thanks,

I originally guess it must be a token for some kind of gambling centre and I think I am right.

At the top, you have the katakana "イチロク" which means 16, and at the bottom, in kanji ”一六商事", which literally means 16th business, or company. In the middle you have the word "金" which means gold.

A quick check in google seems that this might be one of the tokens used in pachinko, or literally means, gambling pinball machines.

Hope that helps

Thanks a bunch! I'll have to go google it now

from the translations it sounds like the 16th piece of business gold, lol (I wish it were gold)

Looks pretty cool though.
