Chinese or Asian coin?

Hello. I have this coin but I don't know where is it from. Its characters are Chinese, I think. I know some Japanese and Japanese kanji, but I can't recognize any number symbol. I've looked and looked but can't discover what kind of coin this is.

Ah, the coin is exactly the same in both sides, and I have also thought about the possibility of it being some kind of token...

Thanks for your help!

Huh. Didn`t know China was not asian.

Just kidding. Well luckily I`m Japanese and I know that this is a token. Honestly even though I`m in Japan right now I don`t know much kanji either. But it looks either Chinese or Japanese for sure.

Ganbate!

Well, at least I know now it's not a coin.

Actually I looked around in many other countries aside from China. I don't see the characters for either "Japan" or "China". Now we need a Chinese-speaking member to arrive to this forum...

That looks like a bowling pin in the middle

That's what a friend of mine told me when I showed it to him...

I concur.

I opt for a gas flame! Can't it be a gas token?

Well I can sorta read Chinese.

One of the characters says 金 (kin). Japanese and Traditional Chinese go hand in hand so I can ask my grandparents if you`d like.

I would be very happy if you'd do that   

It`s simplified.

My grandfather couldn`t read it so sorry!

Oh well, I guess the coin/token will remain a mystery for some more time...

But thank you very much for trying, anyway.

The Chinese characters says, Top: this copper medal is only for entertainment; Bottom: cannot exchange for cash and award. It is used as the token in bowling alley.

Thank you so much man! Finally the mistery is revealed. It's a bowling alley token! Well I'm very happy. Really thanks for all those who helped :D
