In the future - you might consider taking pictures that include the entire find OR include the words (i.e., letters, etc.) in the description.

I unearthed this coin on the path of the infamous Sandakan death march during the Japanese occupation of north Borneo, what's​ the purpose of this coin and which country owns it? Tq.

Telupid--this one has been listed in the Alpert & Smith Amusement Tokens book as being from San Francisco, CA - the Club Aristocrat was at 298 Turk St. in 1939. It was likely used in slot machines in the club.

That is a $5 US gold coin...

So you found a British crown, Frisco slot machine token and a gold coin in Malaysia?

If that's the real Color, I'm going to Guess it had a Pin Soldered on the back at one point.
and that it is a Copy of a $5.00 us gold Piece.
of course the green could be from a nail or other metal object that was lying against it for many years
