foreign coin or arcade token???

[funkman]

had this in a collection of foreign coins I had. Don't know where I got it from but thought maybe someone could fill me in on what it is. There are no words on it just a person wearing a turbin on the one side and a palace or Taj Mahal on the back. Might be a token from Atlantic City Taj Mahal casino for all I know.
The pic also has the first buffalo nickel that I found on Saturday while camping with my son's Boy Scout troop. Only coin found that whole day of searching.

Thanks,

Funkman

Hey, Funkman... Your mystery find is a token from one of the hundreds of Aladdin's Castle arcades, a chain founded in the 1960's, sold to Bally Mfg. Corp in 1974, and resold to Namco in 1993.

Thanks PBK.

You nailed it right on the turbin

thats right Doc,

I got that line from watching Don Rickles during an interview. Somebody told him something and he said "very good....you win a cookie" in the way only don Rickles could do. Don;t hear anything about him anymore. Don;t remember him dying yet.

oh well....... here's your cookie PBK......and you can have one too Doc!
