Coin ID help...please

I went to an estate auction today and this coin was in one of the lots I purchased. It's 21 mm dia. and silver (I think). Anyone know what it is???

The lot also had an 1891 Canadian 5¢...holed

I dont know about that coin, but the nickel is only worth about 5.00 in good condition according to the 2008 charlton, so dont worry about it. It would probobly be worth double that on ebay

 

I don't think its real. It looks to be just a fantasy piece or a token. And you really can't call the 1891 Canadian 5 cent a nickel, it was made entirely out of silver and isn't even remotely the same size as a nickel! lol

 

I'd say its a Japanese plichinko (sp) parlor token. Analogous to a US video game token.

 

I completely forgot about those! Good call!

 

It's Pachinko - a vertical pinball game.

 

Thanks for the info. Guess I can throw it in with the Chucky Cheese tokens LOL. On second thought, the dragon looks cooler than the CC mouse.
