Help to identify this coin

Hi, I ran across this coin yesterday, and don't know what it is. It is 20mm, Weighs 2.9g, is round with smoothe edges. On one side (I'll call it the obverse) it has a number 5 along with a picture of what appears to be a hunter. There seems to be some kind of writing below the picture, but I am unable to identify what language it might be. On the other side (I'll call this the reverse) there is a picture of a lion's head with writing above and below the picture, again, in a language I don't recognize. Any help in identifying what this is, coin or token, what country it might be from, and maybe a timeframe this might have been produced would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any assistance....Bill

I use this site for identifying world coins:

If it has unfamiliar writing, this helps:

Only one country uses that kind of writing script.

 

That is a great link! Thanks for posting it!
