foreign coin ID

anyone have a clue as to the origin of this coin, my kid found it in the return slot of a coin machine, its the same size as a quarter and both sides are identical, i've been searching thru my world catalog and come up empty so far, not even sure if its a coin or token, any help appreciated, thanks...and not sure if its right side up or not... 5.1 grams

I would guess a token.

 

Looks like a Japanese panchinko token.

 

Can't read the text, but it's upside-down, i believe.

 

That was my first thought too, panchinko.

 

thanks guys, never woulda thought of panchinko....
