What is this?

[Vph]

Brother in law found this at work. Have searched all over google and have came up with nothing. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of information to give about the item. I'm sorry about this. It has the same symbol on both sides though.

EDIT: Now that I see the better image and enlarged the picture, it looks like foreign writing. Maybe something related to an ambassador?

It seems like it could be silver. I've searched and searched. I can't seem to find anything like it. I tried to figure out the language on it but I think you might be right right. It seems like jibberish. I've gonna have a better look at both sides and let you guys know if I find any kind of differences. It does look relatively new. It's not dull looking and it does not seem to have much wear on it.

At first I thought it was jibberish that was my first impression but then I changed my mind lol. I dont know. Im looking foward to seeing it solved.

It cant be a coin because it doesnt have a denomination. Its a mystery

Looks like a token of some kind - they are very light weight

It is Japanese. It reads "Prince". Could be a gaming token (pachinko?) or from a US military arcade or R&R Hotel (hence the US eagle). Also could "possibly" be an ink stamp or crimp seal as Japanese are fond of collecting the ink or emboss seals as souvenirs. There is a chain of Prince hotels in Japan today.

It's in Hebrew.

US Navy

The eagle is holding an anchor which makes me think this is the US Navy Crest. There also appears to be a chain as one circle and a rope as the outer one, so I feel pretty confident the graphic is US Navy. The writing is a bit of a mystery. Could very well be something used by a business catering to sailors visiting Japanese bases.

That is very interesting. Thank you every one for the help. I'm gonna look in to everything. It definitely was an interesting find.

Correct. It is Japanese katakana. It reads Pu-Ri-N-Su (or PRINCE in English). Gaming token. There are millions of variations.

The best chance of finding a match on Google would be to do a search in Japanese.

Now you need to translate other key words like token, pachinko, US Navy reserves, eagle etc to japanese and search but like someone said there are a million varieties of these tokens so it may be as solved as its gonna get
