It's a coin, but, what the heck kind??? SOLVED!!!

Found this on a hunt last week. When I first dug it, I thought it was an arcade or game token of some sort. However, upon closer inspection I'm not so sure.

There appears to be a large head on one side & a picture of a castle on the other. The coin also has a SLIGHT octagon-ish shape as you see in the pics.

There also appears to be some minor rusting or discoloration as well.

I'm stumped. Any ideas???

P.S. - It's the same size as a U.S. nickel

SOLVED with a little leg work...

It's an old gaming token from Aladdin's Castle - a gaming recreation in the U.S. A first for me :thumbsup:

Arcade token. I think the arcade was called Alladins Castle. I do remember using them though!
