It's a video game token. It's says "no cash value" but take a couple of kids there and you will go broke. Amazing how much a plastic spider ring and bubba teeth cost these days

The no cash value side is the same as a chuck e cheese game token, but the eagle side is different

It was found in key west where the last arcade was a magic carpet golf torn down 15 years ago and there was an old game room arcade on Duval st about 20 yrs ago but really nothing else to speak of that I could imagine this token coming from?? Magic carpet had their own tokens with a genie on them and the other arcade on Duval st used quarters? The search continues lol!
