I am pretty sure it is a coin but I can't remember from what country and the denomination. I have seen them before but just can't remember.

My searching led me toward an Irish bank token, but I couldn't find a match.
Can we get more pic with different angle? That second pic has some lighting that makes viewing difficult.
**Update: Great job lairmo. I typed too slow...
