No date, just an Indian in a headdress with the number 5 on top and the word five on the bottom, same on the back. Can't find anything with Google :( but I know you guys will help me :D
 

It's play money, from the 1950's-70's, aluminum.

Correct. Do a Google image search on "Wooden nickel" play coin to see others. BTW, I know it isn't wooden...

Pretty sure it's aluminum, but test it to be sure.

As a youngster I took one of those to the local drug store to get a chocolate soda. They were not amused. They made me set there until my daddy came and paid for the soda.
